Default Favorite Color combo for Boro Beads?

Thought of this idea reading the Boro Beads post. What everyones favorite combination.

I'll start with a couple

Elvis Red base, and Green Exotic frit

Blue Carmel and Clear in a reduction flame.


Slyme base with Elvis Red decoration.

You must have sweet talked your english ivy because mine came out dark and dreary! Gonna try again today, hoping to get a really thin layer on the white to see if that helps. I've never had much luck with this color - not sure if it's b/c I have concentrators or just something I'm doing / not doing. PPP!

Sara, you should be able to right click the image and then click on copy. Once you do that, you can paste it on to Word.
