Dang - know there are other threads on this, but I just have to ventilate after a wasted week trying to make some sculptural flowers and spacers with CIM cranberry over Effetre pink. CRACKING - JUST LIKE RUBINO!!

Wasn't paying enough attention and thought others had said that Cranberry was good where rubino was bad. Then the initial couple days had no cracking and pretty good shaping, so I spent more days and got great shaping and then noticed little cracks developing in some of the first beads. How frustrating - don't even bother!!!!!

I would sure like to include a nice pink in my beads, but it's just not worth it to waste all that time. I'm sure open to suggestions on what works.

All these beads were the cranberry over pink either in small spacers or as dots for flower petals &%$#@
