Pumpkin Ltd Run (511223)<br />An opaque orange.

An opaque orange.


"Pumpkin has an element of translucency about it and that is always a sign that the glass may not lend itself to the kind of fine, crisp stringerwork that I do. The photograph shows Pumpkin as polka dots on a CiM Peace bead cased with CiM Simply Berry. As you can see, the dots have lost a bit of their yellowness and as linework the stringer loses its crispness and definition. That's not just limited to Pumpkin - a lot of the 104 yellow-oranges do the same thing." Read more about Pumpkin at Laura's blog. – Laura Sparling
