Triton: what happened????

[Sue in Maine]

OK, love triton and was expecting mostly what I got here but two beads went BROWN... really nice and really weird but I was aiming for a set....

You can see the difference. I can't think of anything I did different. Any ideas? Wish I could reproduce this reliably! Still, it messed up what I wanted for a set.

Strange.

Sue - that looks like you have over reduced the silver glass. Perhaps it was too close to the torch face? Sometimes you can erase that by hitting it with an oxydizing flame but Triton sometimes gets streaking (a great effect if that's what you are after) when you do that. Hope this helps.

Hayley,

That's good to know. I looked around to see what stringer I might have grabbed but it was triton. I had no idea it would even do that. I'll have to play around with it some more.

Thanks,

Sue
