Bead a Day 03

Todays beads are more of the turquoise/purple/ivory variety in an attempt to make ones to match the one from yesterday... however, one broke, 2 look entirely different and I have scorched the turquoise.
This is normally about the point where I feel I'm no good and am just wasting materials and give up for a bit.
BUT not going to, hey, at least they're pretty decently round even if I am starting to disbelieve there's really a sweetspot with a hot head, the more I do the stringer stuff the more I'm discovering that melting the stringer means heating the other side of the bead more than I'd like. Oh well, onwards and upwards.
More tomorrow :o)
