More photos of beads, just got to love the beads !
Most of these are what I would consider ogranics. They are created by the ivory glass which is chemically reactive with other colors mixing around in the flame and then you kind of come out with a chemical goo that hopefully works for you.

Kind of tricky sometimes as they require a bit more heat or just the right amount of heat to make the mix happen but that kind of heat generally means that you will loose the shape of the bead and have to rework it a bit.

Finally you end up with something that if you are lucky looks decent. These beads often look good acid etched to create a matt finish and then they look like rocks or something other than glass. I like to cover them in clear glass to give them depth and magnify the underlying design or matrix.
