These remind me of Susan Burwash's Bambi beads.

Me too -- but Susan's are *much* better ( I have some). They're the
only beads with white in them I can stand to work with. ``````````````````````````````````````` Christina Peterson wrote: These remind me of Susan Burwash's Bambi beads. http://cgi.ebay.com/BC-Lampwork-ETCH...QQcmdZViewItem Tina |

Those are like teeny counterparts to Susan's hefty pieces. I love the size and weight of her beads, but those look like they'd be nice to design with too. |

I seem to be in a bambi bead mood again lately, and have made some in a medium trapsarent gray over white cores as well as in the usual topaz. This time I plan to tumble etch them rather than use Etch-all. I'e been making some copper tubing bangles the last few days and i think the Bambi beads will work well with copper. -- Susan in CA(NADA) |

What a great idea! Have you tumbled many beads before? I love the effect... it's either more silken or more organic than chemical etching, depending on the grit you use. I've been using a really fine grit lately but last year I did a bunch that were really coarse, and I'm thinking about getting another barrel so I can do either one at will. The texture of using a coarse medium looks so wonderful on pale transparents! |

Hi Kalera - I did some with some really, really fine grit last time, but I'm too impatient :-). What grit size have you been using? I'm lucky 'cause I'm a 3 minute drive aware from a lapidary supply place so I can get the grit there. I think they have 100, 200 and 600 grit and then into the really fine stuff like cerium oxide.

Mike's been experimenting with white hearts lately too, there's something that is so lluminous about them, and when they're etched it is such a lovely effect. I love it when a very old style of bead gets new treatments. -Su www.tillermanbeads.co.uk www.britishlampwork.co.uk |

We use Etch-all, but it does seem to give a less soft surface than I'd like. Maybe we'll have to take the plunge and get a tumbler. I love the idea of the copper with the grey! Any pictures yet? -Su www.tillermanbeads.co.uk www.britishlampwork.co.uk |

Hi Su - I love white hearts - I think you're right, they glow from the
inside out. No pics yet, but I'll make sure I take some next week. Su - I've heard most people are quite happy with the very inexpensive tumblers they get from Harbor Freight. Maybe one of your American buddy's could mail you one?? (No Harbor Freigh in Canada or I'd offer). In article .com, Su wrote: Susan B. wrote: Thanks Soozala, Tina and Kalera - you're making me blush.
