This particular set could really make my day because of the gorgious rich colors. Yummie bright pink and rich oranges provided by the combinations and layering of goldpink/rubino and opalyellow/rubino on a grey base with lines in coppergreen and dots in white, opal yellow, coppergreen and pink.

However this particular set makes me really sad :(

In the past I have used Kugler grey with white, rubino and EDP (Evil Defitrifying Purple) which resulted is some lovely beads. It has the same COE (104) as Moretti and so it should be compatible but... In this particular set the rubino/opal yellow/goldpink doesn't seem to like the grey base so much because most beads have superficial cracks in some of the rubino parts.

When I first noticed a few of these beads having cracks, I thought I didn't warm them enough before putting them in the kiln and since I was planning to list these on E-bay, I decided to make some new ones to replace those with cracks. However every day I see more cracks appear and they even appear in the new ones. And so although these beads (made with very expensive glasses) really make my day colorwise they also make me very sad.

I want to sell top quality and therefore these "beauties" will not be for sale.
