Excessive swirling leads to what I call blended muds. Some of these blends can be beautiful if the right primary colors are used. On the other hand, there&#8217;s also been times when my muds have not been very attractive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Not to worry though. Because less-than-attractive muddy lentils can be used as a base bead for applying your cane slices to. But I&#8217;ll leave that discussion for another day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/cindy-sig.jpg\" alt=\"Cindy Lietz
