Cheryl, they look good! Looks like the Silvered Ivory is eating up the yellow ocher. That happens sometimes with certain colors, usually in the orange, red and yellow ranges.

I noticed that on the first one but thought my dots were just way off. While that certainly contributed to it, the second one sucked em up too. I actually like the look though and it inspires me to try this with some transparents to see if I can get a sort of stained glass look.

I will be trying this with greens or blues though to see if I can actually make something closer to what I intended.

Thanks for the tut!

Sorry I missed your post - they look great! Make the olive dots bigger and they'll spread even further into the scale pattern.

Perfect timing, Amber! I am planning to try a set of them this weekend. I will try that for sure!

I tired making these 2 days ago and they came out really horrible. I was SURE that she didn't mean to literally wrap the silver leaf around the stringer, I thought she meant SIS.

Can't wait to try again tomorrow, I love the look of the beads!

This one didn't work at all. Ivory base, silvered, ivory dots, copper green.



And this one is cim olive with silvered ivory and aurae. I like it, but it needed bigger/more dots.



Oh, and here is one more. Poi base, silvered ivory, olive green (not so good) and edp.

Hi,

I never post something here but I read this hole thread and what a lovely beads.
I just wonder why a lot of pictures are gone.

As I told I read this all and ... wanted to try it. They are in the kiln now so tomorrow is an exciting day.

If I figure out how it works here with pictures, I will let you see what I have made last night. I started with the normal recipes but ended up with silver glass ones. I thought that must work as well.

I think the base bead and the silvered ivory make the dots swim but may be I am wrong.

Till tomorrow. Ineke

Ineke, yes, the type of glass used in the tutorial helps spread the dots into the scale pattern. A lot of pictures are missing because of how old the thread is. It's been 6 years since i originally posted it here.

Ineke, they look great! If you want the scales to spread more, let the glass droop a little as you spin and then round out the bead again. That will spread the bead wider at the hole, pulling the scales out a bit more to the edges.

Gorgeous, Ineke! The larger purple in the middle is my fave. Do you mind sharing what colour that is? Beautiful!

No problem. I already have lined them, make photo's for selling but I think I found the middle one.

Base of CiM Poi, than dots with the ivory stringer wrapped in silver leave. On this dots Lausha olive and on this EDP dots.

I heard here that I had to drop it a little bit to make it more scales but Ok that is for next time.

Love this kind of beads and will make more for sure.

Oh and it's really cool to see all the different colors everyone is experimenting with when the Lauscha is not available.

I made some chunks/poppers/buttons with this technique too. Just used copper green as base and EDP and Lausha olive on top.
I think my favorite is the EDP but ... I have just a little experience with EDP and this one is OK but I made another one and I worked it a bit longer and I saw some brown in it what I dont like.

It was difficult to let it drop a bit but I think they are lovely as they are.

So I read the tut and watched the Ross video, both you guys rock! These aren't annealed yet nor etched. Two in the middle are edp dots w/ cg base and the far right is petroleum green dots on cg base. I may need to let the bead 'droop' more for more spread next time and also make the side dots a lil smaller and center dots a lil larger but I like these anyway.
Great tut, Thanks!

Ineke - Lovely - yes, EDP can "burn" in the flame and turn orange and browns from the silver. I actually like it when it does that.

Great Job, Chuck - yeah, you could actually let them go even longer, spreading the dots towards the holes. With EDP, it can be hard because it wants to devit after prolonged exposure...the Pet Green looks pretty cool!

Decided to give the Dragon scales a go as well. Used Rubino over the SIS on a base of Copper Green. I'm well pleased - maybe next time I can get them the same size LOL

Naos, once again, Thx for sharing your method! I made enough for this bracelet, added some Turquoise stones and some Hill Tribe silver.

Wow Chuck - I love it! Beautiful! Don't you love the rusty tones you can get out of the EDP with this method? You never know how it's going to come out.

Yeah Amber, I made those beads from 3 different torch sessions from 'old' edp and they all came out a little different. Then next time I'll try some of the 'new' edp that I recently purchased from Art Glass House here on the forum.

Been playing with your tut again Amber. This time, I tamed the beast ! lol ! I didn't etch them.
I have to add that the copper green looks more turquoise in the main beads. I've never seen copper green react like that.
