Jennie—Is the tut designed for boro or for soft glass?

I work mainly in soft glass and this bead was designed with soft but there is nothing I can see that would stop it from being translated to Boro, it is more about technique and gravity and the glass does need to flow to elongate the design in the final stages.........

Hi Jennie... 
What green did you use in your example??? It wasn't listed in the tutorial. I tried it today and picked a green....any ol' green that was just laying there so I'm sure it will work.
Just curious. I like to try the first one just like the "pattern" and then go from there.
They're in the kiln tonight so....we'll see in the morning....
Other than that, it's a very nice, well written and photographed tutorial. I have all kinds of ideas "swirling" around in my head for things to do with it...
Thank you!!!
Sue

I have just been told I had misssed it I have added it to the PDF for more recent sales but was going to pop a note here thanks you for reminding me. I used Effetre Pea Green 214 but you can use any colour you like really! I cannot believe I missed it I have read that tut so many times for errors.....I am so sorry sometimes you can't see thm for looking.
Can't wait to see what comes out of the kiln for you! It is such an adjustable technique I just love it and thank you for kind words on the tut I will pass on the compliment to the 'photographer' my husband! Happy Swirling :0)
