Picture 002

These are "bright" pixiedots. I used light amber for the golden looking dots, pale aqua for clear ones, and some Heidi purple for the purple dots. If I don't let the dots slump all the way in, they magnify the sparkle of the pixie dust underneath. If I let them slump in flat, they displace the pixie dust and make "windows" into the inside of the bead. Easier than etching! The large "window" amber bead next to the white/yellow pair, has pixie dust inside the bead as well, so you look through the windows and see strange algae-like texture in there. For some reason I really like the weird texture of these beads.
