I do have a lovely bubblegum type pink but the rods are round. It goes clear in the heat and gets dark streaks from a reducing flame. I feel like I remember streaky pink but not well enough to know...

I found a labeled rod after many hours of sorting and weighing and searching. It's definitely the Translucent Yellow (591409).

Ornela doesn't ring a bell either. I can't for the life of me remember where I bought it, but Frantz is a good bet. I'm inclined to think it's Effetre Transluscent Yellow, but I'll do a search and...

Pineapple Sparkle doesn't ring a bell. Effete Translucent Yellow would be more likely, if that is one that has a pearly quality in the rod and also when worked. I remember it didn't play well with...

Hello all,
It has been a long time since I've posted here, and I was more of a Boro room dweller. But I need the wisdom and expertise of the soft glass people for this question. I have just...

They are pretty much unusable until you melt the stick down, mush it around a little, gather it all up and draw it back out into a rod or stringer. I actually like to melt two together and draw it...

Cleaning beads is so much less fun than making them. I thought I would try some blown beads, made from small sections of tubing with multiple color layers on the surface.

GA Persian Blue

I know it's a long shot, but as far as I know I've called all the suppliers and even begged the good folks at Glass Alchemy.

Thanks again Dusty.
Those whisper tips are now officially on my shopping list, along with JAWS, diamond shears, and a kevlar heat resistant pad.
Artco has all the cool stuff, don't they?
