Evanescence Bracelet
Click for more info Evanescence
Here's a quick bracelet I made this morning using left over Evanescence beads...the crystals match wonderfully - Indian Sapphire (light blue) and a dark blue metallic (i can't remember the name, i'll go look it up)...some of these beads shine more than others - its all about the flame itself. If I used the 'dragon's breath' flame, which is a gigantic propane flame, I got the dark blue squiggles (like the set I offered yesterday). If I reduce using a mix of propane/O2, I get a higher mirror effect, but less blue. So I mixed the two together to help tone down the super-shine..tossed in a couple of lentils that were sitting around and this is a nice, light bracelet that I forget I have on...Now, go make some cool bracelets yourself!! (your beads are on their way..)
Raise your hands...I was having fun, making beads and watching the XFiles on cable...Brian has started calling it 'Crack Cable' and he's right! But its still fun, and I'm being productive, so I'm not ready to cut it yet...I made 5 sets of Evanescence for everyone who's ordered (and there are 2 sets of Autumn Dance that will be mailed, and 2 more will be made today for shipping tomorrow)...and I even made myself a bracelet from some left over Evanescence beads..I'll show ya'll in a bit, once I get this shipping stuff under control...LOTS of stuff is going out the door...and then I'm jumping back on the torch. I love when my calendar shows the day completely empty - no interruptions! Back w/ pics in a bit, time for some breakfast or maybe even lunch...?

So, how much to add two lentil shapes that match the dark blue squiggle offered yesterday for matching evanescence earrings? Is this possible?
Love your beads!!

So the 2 squares closest to the clasp: same formula, just reduced it w/out the dragon breath? Kept some Oxy?
I have only red copper green, and it hates me. No matter how "cool" I work it....I get reddish stuff. I just want mint! (sigh) I have a concentrator, so can only reduce propane, can't really blast on the oxy.
Should I order GREEN copper green to get a good mint? Which one did you use for this set?
BTW, fab beads Donna...as always. I am always tickled when your auctions top the charts! You go girl!
