Title: bubbles
Post by: bbbeads on July 26, 2011, 07:28:42 PM
I have tried to make air bubbles with brass shavings but only getting brown spots in the bead.  Would anyone mind telling me what I am doing wrong please. ???

Are you using them in boro, as if so it won't work  :'( :'( I think the effect only works in soft glass. It's the same with copper, the copper just melts and starts combining with the boro rather than staying intact

I am trying the brass shavings with effetre clear.  Do you have to do anything special?

That should be fine, although I've never done that effect myself; there is a link to another thread that might help http://www.frit-happens.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=15880.0 (http://www.frit-happens.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=15880.0)  :)
