The last photos I posted are from that recipe. The final set shown (Lavish Garden) has too much frit on it and the colors aren't as bright as they normally are in other sets I make for that style. I've been trolling LE, Etsy and other venues looking at pics of beads with Gaffer Purple Rose and Z99 in combination with silver and I'm seeing a lot of Z99 keeping it's color, like it does for me.

I will dig deeper and see if I can figure it out. Looks like the silver might be fuming the frit in an oxygen/propane environment so I have someone experimenting for me to see what the best mix might be and if there's a solution. Hang tight. We'll get it worked out. So far, this is only a problem with no enamel and transparents recipe but not with the enamel and opaque base combo.
