Default Double helix trouble

Okay so I am in love with the Double Helix Colors and they work great when you make "plain" beads but I love to imbellish and I seem to either loose color or everything turns kinda mucky on me. I would love some tips on how to make these colors into more than just simple rounds and pressed beads. Thank you in advance for any help. Also I would love to find out if anyone has used these glasses to do the Chaos beads from Sherry Bellamy's tut. Thanks again
Michelle

I know exactly what you mean. I prefer precision 104 striking glass because it doesn't tend to wash out after being worked awhile. The extra silver VanGogh was THE BEST. Dang I want more of that. I'm actually out of all precision 104 striking glass right now and I'm waiting on a large order. So today I used DH Khaos so I'll see how it comes out of the kiln.

Okay the colors that washed out were Khaos and Luna II. I was able to get a frog on top of an encased Terranova 2 bead but it cracked. I was trying to keep it out of the flame so that I didn't loose the amazing color I had gotten. I get great stuff out of Triton!!!! I encased Triton after I reduced it and looked like the most amazing shell I had ever seen. So I guess my new question is help with Khaos and Luna II- I have yet to try Psyche but any help in advance there is good too. Thanks guys!!! Kevan I have bead envy for you you always have the best color from these silver glasses.
Many Thanks,
Michelle
