Testing testing ........

Back on the torch again, and tested out a couple of rods of glass I haven't used before, with two colours in each rod.
I think one is called Sunset, and the other is GiFu, so in that order

As you can see from th last picture, the GiFu bead on the right has been encased in clear. This gives a slightly less intense, more pastel colour to the bead. I cant make up my mind which one I prefer, they are both pretty. Now I wonder what the unencased beads would look like etched?
