Comments:

These beads surprised me.  The windows are much more perfect than fire-polished window beads usually have, and the windows appear to have a matte finish – they aren't smooth and shiny.  The effect is very interesting.

I recently raised my price.  I don't know if the supplier raised their price, or if I was giving the beads a low markup before, but my markup formula resulted in a price that is 30 cents higher this time (per lot).
