“I made a sculptural bird bead with Café
Au Lait. The final colour differed from the colour of the rod. The result was a
pale grey-beige. Whenever glass was added, dark striations formed which makes
the colour look inconsistent. I began with a clear ‘core’ body and then encased
in Café Au Lait. This gives an opportunity to see encasement with the colour.
The head, wings and tail were added straight from the rod. I used Reichenbach
Deep Black for the base of the beak followed by Effetre Pastel Yellow. The eyes
were also Reichenbach Deep Black” – Kim Fields
