So right now we have a basic bead with some copper green and some ivory. You can already
see some color reactions forming where the ivory and the green touch that is starting
to be a black outline on that copper green color. What we are going to do is we are going
to heat this up as evenly as we can. We don't want to get it soupy, we just want to get
it a little bit tacky because we are going to go down to our graphite marver on our work
bench and we are going to pick up some silver foil. I have a little bit of extra that I
don't need and I am going to go ahead and break that off with my tweezers and I am going
to go in and again just like in another bead that I have shown you we are going to take
our tweezers and we are going to burnish that silver to the bead that we created so that
it doesn't fly away. If you don't do this and you take say this end of silver right
here and you put it in the flame it will burn off and just kind of disappear. You don't
want the glass to burn off; you want it to burn into the glass. That is how you create
some of the effects that we will be looking for. So once you have the silver burnished
all the way in you are going to take it back into the flame. Next what we are going to
do is we are going to pick up some frig.
