Double Helix Glass????
 

I have been watching the Double Helix auctions for some time now, but have never bought any of their glass. Has anyone ever tried any of the colors??? If so, can we see some of the beads?? Do you like them?? Pretty spendy glass...just wanted to know if anyone had tried any of the glass before I fork over the cash to try a sampler.

Double Helix Glass
 

Jan,
I just spent 85.00 on a pound of double helix glass and would do it again in a heartbeat. Very Fun Stuff! However I am milking my supply by using it mostly for stringers. I got the sample pack which has all their glass represented. I think why it is so fun is the actual silver particals that are in the glass. After you have worked it in a reducing flame all sorts of hues and colors emerge. If you are new to double helix I would go with the sample pack.

Hi Kim,

Any chance we could see some pictures?

I have bought glass from him a couple different times I love his glass. At lunch I will try to get some pics of what I have made with it up for ya. I have used the nebula, dark star and I have some of the rhubarb which I haven't used yet.

How strange! I just made some beads last night with the Nebula glass.

Oh my goodness.... that looks absolutely fabulous!!! I will and must have this glass!

I just made two simple ones last night:

This is the Nebula with a core of clear



And this is Nebula encased with clear




Love this glass!!!!!! It is YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!

Nicole! Those beads are so gorgeous they are making me dizzy! :love:

Lindsey tell us more! How did you get the blue purples the blue teals and the ones that have the amber hue. Is it just nebula glass or did you mix it with other glass?

will somone please write the link that leads there?
i looked for Double Helix on google, and found no glass-related sites.

He sells on eBay, here is a link:

I love the Northern Lights. Sorry, I don't have pictures anymore

The ones with the purple hues I used a trans purple to encase it. the rest of them are all encased with clear. I don't remember what purple I used to encase it anymore. So no real special tricks.

It's almost like boro! They look amazing! it just really sucks that they only ship to Canada and USA

Suzanne, maybe you could sweet talk someone in the US or Canada into bidding for you ( you having given them a proxy, of course ) and you could pay them the extra to ship it to you?

Wow! Awesome glass and beads! Since it has silver in it are you all wearing your respirators when working with this glass??? :love:


Can't wait to purchase some of this glass too. \\:D/ \\:D/ \\:D/

Holy Cow! That is beautiful! I feel like I need some but I'm afraid I would mess it up somehow. Thanks for the link!

I just ordered a sampler pack of this stuff, glad I did......those beads are just awesome and yes, they do look like they are boro! Whoopee can't wait to play with these goodies, and yes Fay....I'll be vigilent about the silver content.

I played with the DH glass more last night...

Here is the Dark Star which I LOVE!!!!



And both of these are the Rhubarb, LOVE this stuff too!



I seriously need more of this stuff!

I made another Dark Star bead last night...
SOOOOOOOOOOO Pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will get pics up in a bit.

Nicole those are awesome.

Those are gorgeous!! DAMN! Now I MUST buy some!!!!!

Every bead I make using this glass is stunningly beautiful!!
(ok that kind of sounds conceited but it is true :-D )

oh Nicole that is awesome too!!!!

*just noticed Lindz up there*

Hey lady!!!!

I got an offer from Amy (zoozzii) and she offered to take care of it for me. Thanks so much! I will definetly let you know when I am ready to go!

Suzanne

Awesome Suzanne! That's one thing I'll never understand is people only shipping to the USA or USA & Canada. It's only one extra form.
