Hey, folks!

Just managed to add two new colors to the bottle-glass roster, a true blue and a true green:

Mu Sake, Jun-Mai Daiginjyo
Tastes like sweet, slightly fruity urglefloggah. Comes in both small and large etched bottles. Fairly soft and easy to work, but has a tendency to scum if worked too hot. Slightly lighter than Pinnacle, although this can be difficult to see unless in solid applications. The color's so pretty that you won't care much if it scums, because that makes it look like blue lace agate.

Pure Dusk Shumuzu-no-mai Junmai Daiginjo Sake
Another find at Whole Foods, which occasionally comes up with interesting surprises. Small etched bottle, fairly soft, although prone to shattering if heated too quickly, and work it cool! It scums easily when overheated, and may devitrify as well. Comes out as a gorgeous light celadon, firmly between Coke and Welch's. Definitely worth the effort.

I wish that I could show you a picture of these, but my computer's art program has vanished down the rapacious maw of Windows 10.
