Velveteen Ltd Run (511724)<br />A creamy light brown opal.

A creamy light brown opal.


"I made a pair of rounds with 006 clear cores. One has a band of silvered ivory around the centre, and the other has a couple of wraps of fine silver wire, melted in so it balls up. There’s a bit of brown fuming from the silver – not a huge amount. The SIS wrap has a clearly demarcated edge and has not spread a great deal." Read more at Heather's blog. – Heather Kelly

"You can see those darker wisps again [you know, the opal glass wisps that I keep bleating on about] and they’re a sort of pinky-brown." Read more at Laura's tumblr.

"Velveteen is an alabaster beauty. The glass begins as a soft caramel with slight pink undertones. When flamepolished for an extended period of time, a burgundy blush blooms in the glass." Read more at Heather's blog.
