-Turquoise is much darker than I anticipated
-Turquoise/ivory/light turquoise offers some variety
-I love muted colors - need to stock up on some avocado and sage
-Some beads are fun to look at up close, but may not be good “from afar” for jewelry
-I need to keep practicing with copper- I did better on the hothead- maybe using a more reducing flame would help. It seems no matter how long I cook they end up too dark with not enough color
-I love not knowing what an organic will look like until it comes out of the kiln
-Using a tungsten to bring up some base color helps break up the copper darkness
-I can’t decide if a not completely flat bead is worth selling even though I like the worry bead shape- not everyone carries beads in their pockets- maybe they should
-Tungsten pick waves are easier to ruin a bead with- but they also make a wave just a bit different than every other wave
