"This deep kingfisher blue is gorgeous but like Leaky Pen it does have a tendency to pit and fizz whilst in the flame; you just need to keep working it and the pitty-fizziness will stop happening. It etches with no trouble at all." Read more at Laura's blog. – Laura Sparling

"You can see that the self-coloured bead is very dark - it might as well be black. Use this to good effect in stringers and twisties. Very pretty colour when diluted with clear or white." Read more at DragonJools blog.
