A few days before I went to the workshop with Sarah I received a glass-shipment. I ordered some new colors and one of them was Copper green. I had read about it on a forum and also had seen some very nice examples.

I also wanted to try to make a large hole bead suitable for the trollbead-bracelet's and I bought some silver cores for finishing. It's quit difficult to make a trollbead-bead because it should not be to large and because of the large mandrelsize it's quit difficult to get an even amount of glass all around with a nice rounded hole at both sides so the core will fit perfectly later on.

So here's my first trollbeads-bead and I must say I really was happy with the result. I used the Copper Green with EDP and believe me these really were the only two colors used for this bead. I totally love the way these colors react together, so you can imagine my happiness to find out these were used in Sarah's workshop too. Oh and EDP stands for Evil Devil Purple because it's also very difficult to work with.

The size of my bead turned out perfect, but I guess that was some kind of beginners luck because I haven't achieve a similar result since... :(

Here's a set of beads I made with Copper Green, EDP and some yellows combined with some encased yellow "bubble"beads.
