Welcome to my Musings

This bead was made with a base Bullseye glass. I am playing around with BE because I want to do small sculptures and it is stiffer than Effetre and the other 104 COE glass I have been using.  BE is 90 COE.  I love this glass!!! The colors are gorgeous, especially the transparents........a real transparent purple.  The opaque colors are much more translucent.  They are called opals.......another gorgeous purple too.

The base bead is nougat and the raked stringers are Richenbach 108 (aka Raku), dense black and purple to make the "flames".  Heating and cooling the bead created the blues, greens, red, and purple in the raku stringers.(27mm x 15mm)
