Black and white glass beads are fun and provide a wonderful contrast between two classic colors. But I have a love - hate relationship when creating them. It is a slow process because if the black smears it will show it's true color which is purple . Moretti black glass is truly a very deep and I mean deep amethyst. But it appears black, unless it smears then you can see the purple. And intense black is very expensive and it has it's own little problems of frazzles if heated to much . (Frazzles look like spider webbing) So it can be a very slow process making black and white beads but it is always well worth the headaches.
