Those over charcoal are fab, lovely beads. The dark bases seem to be showing it to it's best effect.

Aha, a use for Charcoal me thinks. They are lovely beads. I'm not getting much from TAG glass, I think I need to heat it hotter? (Am ion a Minor).

You heat most of the TAG glass until they're drippy prior to striking or reducing - they have great working instructions on their webby. And they're lovely and incredibly helpful when you email them too. ;)

I love the ones on a base of charcoal, too. Seems to bring out the colours more :)

These beads are all cooking in the kiln today, i will let you know if any of them change colour!

I made one on Tuxedo, but it just swallowed the silver glass!

I did that the other day with Reichenbach black. Very annoying isn't it!
