Today I've been playing with Effetre 254, also known as 'EDP' or 'Evil Devitrifying Purple'. It's a tricky glass to use but I wouldn't call it evil. Temperamental maybe. Sensitive, even. It feels the cold, poor thing, and likes to be kept nice and warm - the warmer the better. Be patient with it, treat it nicely and it'll blossom into soft purples and rich orchid pinks. Yum!I made this bunch of test beads to pin down a colour combination to make a batch of beads with. All feature EDP over bases made from different 'reactive' colours. I particularly like the ones with a green base so expect to see more of those soon.
Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! You're killing me with your combos! I'd love them. I'll email you as soon as I can get my email working again.
ReplyDeleteI love them. LOVE THEM!!! Those colours are just gorgeous! More of the green and purple ones please.
ReplyDeleteCheers Jenn!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo - yes, there's something about those green ones.

The green & purple are my favourites too. I like these very much, have a Morroccan feel about them!
ReplyDeleteThose are delicious. The yellow ones were really catching my eye. Then I read your comment about the green ones. My eyes passed them by next to the yellow. Those greens are KILLER!
ReplyDeleteThese green ones certainly seem popular!
ReplyDeleteHi Kerry! *Waving*
Thank you for your comment. Copper green base, EDP and then turquoise. Love the dark green that happens. Yum!
