Lampwork Beads

Another open studio at the Brookfield Craft Center.  A quick half-session and tried some of my new colors.  The yellow cabochon in the lower left with the "T" became a pin for one of my protégés.  

I decided to "frost" the transparent ones and the turquois.

You place them on a string to dip making it easier to retrieve them.

Throw them in the solution.  I think we waited 15-30mins,

The end result.  The turquois looks aged, the black shiny lost its luster and the others now look like beach glass.  I like beach glass so this is cool.
