Fimo Clay Help with burning?

I am using fimo soft pacific blue no 37 and fimo effect transparent white to create round and circular flat beads. I previously made the same beads using the transparent white and pink effect clay but every time I use it with the blue they are coming out brown and burning. I have tried turning the temperature right down and putting them on for a shorter time last night only for ten minutes. Is this a reaction between soft and effect or am I doing something wrong? Everything else I have made using fimo has come out perfect so I am confused as to why these ones keep going brown.... Any help or advice?

I don't know anything about that specific color (and I usually don't use FimoSoft), but I know a lot about polymer clay and darkening/burning.
Sometimes certain colors do tend to darken more easily than others even within a brand, and translucents or translucent-containing colors are especially susceptible (and some brands are worse than other brands in general, with Kato Polyclay being the best), but more often it's something about the baking situation... things like:

....exact position in the oven (closeness to coils, walls, etc.)
....the baking surface being used
....whether oven has been completely preheated

There are things you can do to protect any clays/colors though. Those mostly include ways to protect the clay from direct heat by partially or completely "covering" it while baking, so the heat will be moderated every spot around the clay... changing the baking surface or position... lowering the temp and baking for longer, etc.

There are many more details about all those things (and how to do some of them) on the Baking page of my polymer clay encyclopedia site if you want to check it out:

How To Made A Bracelet With Pandora Beads And Charms

A great way to make your own jewelry is using fimo beads. Fimo beads are made from a soft polymer clay that allows you to mold the clay into any shape you want. It also comes in a variety of colors that can be mixed to create the most beautiful and amazing marbled effects.
Pandora Charm Bracelets
There are many different types of charm bracelets available for collectors. From the classic charm bracelet, which uses dangling charms hooked onto an open-weave chain, to the newer Italian modular charm bracelets, there are both charms and styles to suit any age group, taste, or budget. The materials for these bracelets are nearly as varied as the types: charm bracelets can be made in inexpensive stainless steel, or pricey 18K gold. One of the newest types are the Pandora charm bracelets.
Pandora charm bracelets use a new sort of technology to add a different twist to the charm bracelet. Instead of using dangling charms like a traditional bracelet, or interlocking stainless steel square charms like an Italian bracelet, Pandora bracelets are different. The charms on a Pandora bracelet come in the form of beads, round charms that can be made in many different patterns and use different gemstones to accent your bracelet.
Pandora charm bracelets have three segments of threading on each bracelet. The beads, or charms, are actually screwed onto the bracelet in whatever pattern you wish. Each bead moves freely and rotates on its own as you move your wrist, so they definitely catch your eye. The different metals that make up Pandora bracelets range from the inexpensive sterling silver model all the way up to the gold model  The beads also range in price depending on the type of metal used
Pandora bracelets originated in northern Europe and started their road to success in the United States in the year 2002. The many different types of Pandora beads include solid sterling silver and gold styles, Murano glass beads, genuine gemstones and initial beads with a combination of silver and gold. Matching rings (matching to the beads) are also available.The popularity of charm bracelets continues to grow in the US. More and more women are searching for a new type of charm bracelet to express their tastes and interests. The Pandora charm bracelets are perfect for collectors of any age.

  2. Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
