So here are those pics
#1: opaque pink, burned dichro
, flowers are transparent dark rose over white, encased with kugler clear
#2: pink luster over opaque pink, stamen stringer, flowers same as #1, encased in kugler clear
#3: spacer beads, tr. dark rose, opaque pink, pink luster rod
#4: cobalt bicolor rod, dichro, kugler clear
#5: pink luster over kugler white, dots are tr. dark rose. Bad combination, cracked all over the bead
I'll try to put the tips of the rods into my kiln to preheat. Don't have a seperate preheater...
More experiments will come for sure
