Still digging the Green Dalai from TAG.
In this case, I was going for smaller beads (these are about 20 mm across). I super-heated the Dalai (but it never actually went clear). I wound the core bead, and let the glass cool to not-glowing. At that point - the glass looked black.
I built a gather of clear - about twice the size of the original bead, and got it very hot, and wound it onto the core bead. I made sure that the clear went down over the edges. Then it was just a matter of heating the whole thing smooth.
You can see they have struck to some interesting blues and greens. Very "planetary." I wonder how I can float some continents on there!
