This bead is created the same as the earlier Pea Green & Dark Turquoise Dots bead but without the clear on top. Clear makes a huge difference in the final color in this case.

Layered dots. Place a dot melt it place another dot on top. This is how I found out the blue turns red but i think my mistake created some appeal to this bead.

Just s imple bead with white dots not melted all the way to create a funky bumpy bead. Go practice for stringer control I am getting better at placing the dots where I want them.

Dark transparent green base bead with pea green dots and heart. The heart is made by placing a dot and melting it flat. I let the bead cool and then heat just the dot. If you rake the top and bottom down you get a heart.

This bead believe it or not only has two colors of glass in it. After messing with the light blue I found if you heat it lower in the flame it turns this funky red color. In this bead I used this to my advantage to create a cool swirly bead.

This is my first attempt at a set. I create 4 beads that are almost the same size which is harder then you might think. I ade the mistake of creating them all at the same time so I had nothing to reference while the beads were cooling. Not bad for remembering the size from memory.

This bead is pretty simple once you get pretty good at placing the dots where you want them to go. 3 dots slightly flat and then I cut into them with a paring knife.
