Default pearl x

A friend lent me her whole collection of pearl x powders to experiment with on my beads. Does anyone have advice on which colors are worth playing with and/or which will be a total waste of time?

Thanks!

Yes, I do.

I love the copper flakes as inclusions.

See?

Be sure to read about how they catch on fire. I use a teaspoon and it doesn't tend to catch on fire.

I love the Sparkle copper, it was the prettiest and easiest to use and got some pretty pearl shimmery effects from the white pearl. Some of the other colors were very very light or just burned out. I did get some very light olive effects from one of the greens. Can't remember which one. I played with a bunch of different colors and the ones I liked the best were done on clear glass. I am still liking the Sparkle copper as some of the beads I put that on the surface are still wearing very well. Have fun.

Thanks so much!!
I'll have to bookmark Kitty's site! I haven't seen her around the boards in while, and I had lost track of where to find her.

If you're reading Kitty, thanks for posting all the wonderful info.
