I've got lots and besides the regulars, I have some odd Russian soft glass to add to the mix. Different cool colors, but more to count! I'm going to estimate the top bracket, but not sure.

Hmm...planning my map on who I want to visit first :)
I don't know how many colors I officially have...my glass is all in a tote & not really easy to "count"...probably 50 colors that I've got a quarter pound or more of? across 3 COE's? if I skip all the single rod samples I've got that is... oh & at least 5 or 6 of those "colors" are 420 moretti coral :lol: (yeah..I have a problem) I think I've got 4 shades of Bullseye that I have a quarter pound each of (& then a bunch of single rods) And then a couple colors of Jess's vintage 96coe stuff in quarter pounds & the rest in her assorted "leftovers" packs.... just don't ask me to count all the single color sample sticks I've got...omg...I can't even imagine--half of them I'm afraid to melt 'cause I might not be able to get more ;)!! (strips of stained glass, odds, shorts I've scrounged...raogks I've been blessed with...there's a lot of singles!!) |

I -LOVE- buying the "going out of beads" deals. I enjoy working my way through the bundles and seeing colors, and sometimes finding different ones I hadn't "met" before. (Not that I'd use them... It seems like if I have less than 1/4# of a color, it sits there and looks pretty if it's not a basic one I'm running low on.)
And yeah... my copper green stringers from Jon turned into a $100+ order. Why? Well, I -had- to get free shipping, so I just added a few things... Like a pound of odd vetro that I didn't realized until I got it upstairs that I already had 1/4 pound of... But that means I can use it now. :D |

I can't sleep in the garage. Brian has the same theory on tools that I do on glass - it's packed. :hide: |
Not Nearly Enough.

Ahhhhh Crap!!!! I counted my colors of moretti and gustimated on those 2 slots that have "friend rods." You know, the stuff friends send ya a couple of rods of... I thought I was doing OK and had TOO MANY colors. Then Kimberly mentioned kinds of glass..... I didn't count my boro!!! Not gonna count them either too many unmarked rods!
Egads What is wrong with me? I do not like odd lot glass, I rarely buy "expensive" glass. Have I slipped into this glass ho vortex, I certainly hope not! But this odd orange that burns yellow, needs more exploring.... |
I have only 135 diffrent colors I guess I need to figure out what I am missing LOL.

I have eight pounds (!!) of the peach persimmon coral, because I love it and I ordered a pound (or more) with every order until it was gone. I also have excessive poundage of other odd lots. But I only have one pound of the Vetrofond slate blue odd lot. :cry: Why? Because I controlled myself. That will teach me. Anyone wanna trade for some coral? |
Well we must be triplets (referencing Kimberly's earlier post). And I signed up at Glasscraft for their "club" so I could get the big discount no matter how small the order. <rubs hands with glee> Now I can get ALL the Bullseye colors I'm missing. mwahahahaha
Oh, not counting clear I have upwards of 140+. I see I'm lagging behind a few people. where's my credit card???? |
<sigh> I many have to back off on buying for a while. I dread having to miss any odd lots. I know if I just stappoed at a pound of the odd lot I'd be fine but I know I won't. realistically speaking I know that. I always say I will and as of yet always went way over.
BTW- any one know of a conveinient safe way to move a glass studio to another state? should I even try to move the vent system? packing all that glass!! UGH. |
I have only 75 colors and I don't have nearly anywhere near enough!

wow everyone of you needs to adopt me :) I have 18 colors total *sigh* and about 15 single rods people as wonderfull as all of you have sent me :) I have a huge 80 compartment glass storage shelf however not even 25 percent full :)
|
for sure not enough of what I need when I need it...and since there are so many new types of glass these days...I guess I will be behind for quite a while!
|
hehe I know what my resolution is now its to buy enough glass to fill my storage system :P the nice thing is I can always add pve tothe storage system to add compartments inside of compartments I have a pic of it in the studio thread
|
Ok, sooooo...someone voted & dragged this thread forward...a year later....so.....how many colors does everyone have NOW???? :lol:
(I'm guessing I'm up to 70 on quarter pounds--I've gotten a few gifted to me & bought a few--but the past year hasn't had a lot of buying going on for me--it's been mostly gifts of singles rods--and they didn't count for the survey--if I get a bonus this next year it's gonna be one heck of a glass splurge to catch up on my "needs", rofl!) |
I had no idea I had that many.. I have never actually counted them before.. :-) Don't tell my DH.. ;-)
|
Um, no choice that says all of them?
LOL, I don't have them all, but a couple of people I know might... OMG, I got curious so when and counted. I have over 200. That is a shock! |

Trouble is that batches differ so there are many colors within the same color, and you don't want to run out of the ones you like......and never met a color I didn't like.......I have a lot and still am protective of startting a new rod. The only color I don't guard is clear and even that varies......

My soft glass stash is too many to count. I ran out of toes. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/fsc/wink2.gif J. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/eng/shy12.gif |
Ok I just happened to stumble across this thread and thought I'd make a quick count. I am officially way past glass ho and seriously think I need help as I have 413 different colors not counting boro and not counting the unmarked bullseye I have laying on my studio floor. And all of that in just about a year and a half. By the time I hit the five year mark I will need a small warehouse just to store my glass!!!!

WOOHOO I finally have over 60 colors :P what a diffrence a year makes |
My count will have to wait. It is too cold to go out there and count, and I have no shoes on!
