Purple flowers ought to look nice on amber—purple and yellow are complements after all—but after pulling the beads featured yesterday out of the kiln, it just looked black and dull to me. Also, I evidently had a little confidence (not entirely justified) that this lot would come out better, so I used more expensive pink cane for the flowers this time.

I presumed I would've used blue hilight pixie dust on acid yellow beads featuring blue flowers, but since these were pink flowers, I went with red pixie dust instead.

These were bigger and better shaped—progress!
