I have some thoughts to share with you about different techniques for etching glass lampwork beads to get a matte finish. But I don't have everything just ready yet so I thought I would discuss these to bad beadies to the right. I was getting an auction ready to go yesterday and decided to etch a bunch of white heart pairs since they just look so cool that way. Well, for some reason this pair of what I believe is amber rose decided to pit instead of etch nicely. They looked just awful compared to the rest of the group. I know I have etched this color before without this happening so I don't have an explanation. So, while etching can be fun, at times it just goes wrong!
More on this coming soon.

They look beautiful to me anyway!
Thanks Kristy! It is a gorgeous color, but the pits on these would catch lots of dirt and fibers too. :(
Oh, OK, I gotcha. ;-)
