damn that's a good lookin' bead Mary Beth, i know what i'm gonna try on my next bullseye day!
i've had some interesting reactions from copper leaf on french vanilla encased. also, if you use lustres, then reduce them, then encase without burning off the reduction, that can have the boro look.
the dark aurora color can have a multi color look, and i've gotten interesting colors by using the dark aurora on a bead, rolling it in clear frit, melting, that in, then encasing with clear.
BE's light amber transparent (as a base) with pulled Boro Bora/light amber stringer:

Those are beautiful, thank-you everyone for the information!!! I know what I'll be doing this weekend. Lisi, do you know what reduction frits make up Bora Bora?

I believe there could be iris amber green, iris yellow, iris gold, and the dark brown transparent in the mix, not sure. Dark transparent iris brown, I think?? The pinkish red is a gold ruby, I believe. The ruby turns brown on the amber glass base, so you don't really need it.
Val should haver some in her store when she opens it back up, I presume! I would check there on a regular basis. But, for now you could do this: equal mix of iris amber green, iris yellow, and iris gold, any combo of two or three and you should get some cool blues and greens! Iris amber green by itself is great! Lots of blue-greens and some amber-dark gold.
I've never pulled these frits with Effetre straw yellow or light brown transparent, but I've read that it's cool stuff.
Here's just iris amber green pulled with Effetre light amber transparent and then this stringer over a black base.

I've been playng around with this a bit. The old BE chartreuse was working but if you can't find it anymore I didn't see the point in posting about it. The new chartreuse looks pretty toxic swampish so try that at your own peril.
I think this combo looks coolio. It's Green Tea trans rolled in Lt. Iris Gold frit and twisted. I think the base is Violet and it's encased.
I tried a bunch of other BE transparents but I stopped here.

I saw Green Tea Trans on Bridgetown this morning and was curious but I hadn't had a chance to look at my color chart to see if it's known by another name. Here is the link:

Kalera would know. It looks like a good color, kind of similar to M Lt Brown trans. I'm just starting to work more with my BE and still getting to know the colors.

Kalera has it listed as a regular color. I'll just ask the next time I order.

OK, it's not a regular production color. I just got an email back from my BE rep. She said they have a few pounds left though. Oh well. Back to the drawing board.

Forgive the poor photos. My husband usually does the camera and photoshop, but I couldn't wait. The picture titles list the glass types used. There will be 2 posts to fit all the photos.
