Leaky Pen is one of my FAVORITE colors!! The only aspect of it that I don't like it that it's extremely stiff -- stiffer than any soft glass I've ever used. I have yet to be successful encasing anything with it.
Here are some beads I made using it:

Um, I lied about the encasing. It's not my normal way of encasing. To encase with Leaky Pen, I've found the best way is to pull it into stringer first and then just wrap that around a base bead. Applying a big blob of it over a base and then letting it melt over it, doesn't work -- at least not for me.

I love gelly, sangre, clockwork(though I burnt out my first bead, have learnt now to heat it gently) celadon, peacock but my favourite is thai orchid I love that so much. I really liked gelly over periwinkle(moretti) in dots, makes the whole bead look kinda lilacy? can't remember which is the opal out of celadon and peacock offhand but whichever one it is I put it on thai orchid and it looked great, I put thai orchid on it and it gobbled it up! maybe was just too hot, will play some more cos the colour was yum.

Kevan, gorgeous work! Your photo really captured that issue I was talking about - the body of the piece maintains that bright pink hue, and the arms where Gelly's Sty is used as dots loses some of its saturated pink-ness.

So, if I'm making beads with all of these different glasses, not on the same bead but different ones, would I set the annealer at the highest temp? Is that ok for the beads that anneal at the lower temps? (newbie at annealing)

I am super late to the party. I just got some leaky pen. I really like it. Here it is over dirty martini (which I LOVE). The photos stink. SIGH

This vessel is made with leaky pen as the base, it's one of my favorite vessels. My rods like to boil easy too, I have to work cool and patient.
The black is hades.

So - what do we do if we want to use one of the colors with higher annealing temps with a Vetrofond or Effetre color? Or should we just not put them together?

Ah ha. this explains a lot!
I had 10 very large focals crack after 3 weeks in the store. I am sure that all of them had a mixture of leaky pen and moretti, annealed at 960.
I can no longer keep track of all these differences in annealing temps for certain colors, what not to use with whatever.
Seems its all getting very confusing. I think I will stick with what I know and forget the rest. What I don't understand is how can one say that ALL colors are compatible with all 104 moretti BUT it needs to be annealed at a much higher temp than moretti glass can stand. That to me means these colors are NOT compatible.
I got a headache.

I'm having trouble with leaky pen bubbling up really bad. I love the color though. Does it need to be worked color in the flame? I'm on a cricket if that makes any difference. Thanks. Elaina

Here's some leaky pen that I applied over clear.
I know I have some Gelly's pink beads somewhere....

You can get the leaky pen color from BE's aquamarine blue and a less saturated version in #1444-I think it's called seablue. It's all tested compatible, has only one annealing temp and it's made in America not China.

Who makes 1444- 1? I do not recognize that number for bullseye and yes BE's Aquamarine is very similar and quite beautiful.

Oops! That's "#1444-hyphen- I think....." No 1 after the #1444. It is one of BE's Special Production rods and not yet in their regular line. The availability of these colors fluxuates and they are only available directly from BE.

I was just going to post the same thing...I was asked to make a really light denim scroll on a bead and only had dense blues so I encased white with leaky pen and pulled into a stringer....the same way you did and it looked sooo nice! The stringer also got a nice reaction around the edges when applied over ivory.

Love Leaky Pen! No pictures but wanted to add that I love most CIM colors. Favorite is Sangre. I have been practicing Kerri's Scroll tutorial and used Sangre as a base for Iris Orange and it was beautiful! Too bad I messed up the scroll work. Oh and Clockwork is a great base for silver glass and so is Great Bluedini ( I think that is how it is spelled)

News flash! Encase the darkest transparent Effetre grass green with Leaky Pen. What a luscious teal color! (Okay, not quite teal but something in that neighborhood.) It makes really cool stringer, anyway.
I'm not a "pink person" but Gelly's pink is my favorite for painting flowers and girly canes.

What a good tip, Karen. I might try that with ink blue as it is quite similar. I've become quite fond of teal lately, it's hard to find.
