I finally got up the nerve to work with the infamous "evil devitrifying purple."  The base color of these beads is a cantankerous rod color that tends to fog up and do ugly things to beads if you don't talk to it nicely.  I must have been saying something right, because I loved the way the beads turned out and have ordered another pound of the EDP.  Notice one of the side-effects of EDP: a neat little line (or circle, as the case may be) appears down the center of the surface decoration... cool, huh?

These beads measure 8mm by 14mm and use a variety of colors like sky blue, coral, dark red, lime green and white for surface decoration.

I've placed a 6mm Amethyst Swarovski^® crystals between each bead for spacers.
