Reichenbach701S Pearl Beige

pearl beige–an unexciting name for a yellow based off-white, i.e. ivory. Shampoo color disappears with overheating. Easier not to “burn” it in the first place: use a soft neutral flame rather than attempting to restrike. Additional comments: while making solid beads, the color restruck by cooling the bead(s), then re-warming. Used an oxygen flame but color looked muddy, as if carbonned. However, they looked okay once out of the kiln.
