I wasn't the biggest fan of Helios when it first came out but that can be pretty typical for me when it comes to a new glass color. I often have to play with it and then set it aside for a month or two and then come back to it. After that I usually like it. That's exactly what happened with Helios. This is only my first bead with it since I picked it up again. It's heavily stormed Helios topped with unreduced Helios and topped with Aether. It's a gorgeous streaky yellow gold. I'll have to experiment topping the heavily stormed Helios with other colors to see what else I can come up with.
That's beautiful Amy!
ReplyDeleteNot being a lampworker I have no idea what it all means, but the bead is amazingly gorgeous! Love the understated color!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks different and a little uni sexual in the look...which is nice because men wear a lot of accessories these days.
