"I love how the Halong Bay and Marble interacted to create some opalescent, almost opaque beads, while others still retained a more translucent look. I'll definitely be experimenting with more handmixed sets that feature CiM opals mixed with Marble!" – Dana George

"And another ring topper in Marble with a swirl of raku frit - like other opals, the Marble doesn't bring out the best in the Raku, but I still like the finished effect." Read more at Julie's blog.

"Marble and Adobe mixed together really created a creamy, warm neutral with very soft, subtle striations of color. To add even more warmth, I pulled some silvered Adobe stringer and wrapped the beads with it."
Dana George
"I really love how Marble lives up to its name when handmixing! If you mix it with a transparent, you get these wonderful striations of color and delightful variation. And one thing I do like about it better than Cirrus as a catalyst for handmixing is that it does not have any issues with devitrification. It melts smooth, and keeps a very smooth, shiny surface." Beads shown are Marble & Twilight.

"I think it may be stiffer than an opaque white - so there may be some beads that this works better for - if you find that regular whites are losing their shape - i.e. sculptural beads." Read more at DragonJools blog.
