Efferte Alabaster Medium Rose
Hello folks.
Yes, I'm a total newbie - I've tried working this far out, cool, hot...but it bubbles and spits like crazy once it goes soft. To the point where shifting to a shockier glass is actually nice as the reactions are more predictable. Cool seems to help, but not much. The colour is lovely but I feel like it's almost evaporating once it's warm. I'm an utter newb, so what am I doing wrong? From searching the forum, the colour change issue appears to be gone - no greys, the pink stays pink. Just...pink froth. |
do a search here for Alabasters and opalinos, lots and lots of tips. Basically they are a very tricky glass to work and you need a cool flame and patience. Preheating helps also. Good luck!

After seeing them called 'Alabastards' I feel more reassured I'm not alone...
|
hahaha, too right!
|
I was told, as a beginner, to not even think of buying alabasters and opalinos. Even when they seem to work, they can do something nasty years later.
|
Huh. I've been using them for years with no ill results. What are they 'supposed' to do?

They boil like a b***h, but when you get them right, the colors are so nice. Worth the effort...........most of the time.
|
What a pretty bead!
