Foil Beads
I started out by practicing with copper foil, at least that was the idea anyways. What I got was teal, aqua colored beads instead.
I then set out to make the beads with gold and silver foil with some success. At first I made the beads with the foil encased in clear glass.
Ultimately, I did some test beads with the foil on the outside and with foil encased under other colors. However, these first beads were just simple segmented beads foil in clear.
