Beginners advice:
1) Don't play with pinks yet unless you use Gelly's pinks. Rubino is expensive and too much heat and you lose the color. Other pinks turn brown with too much heat.
2) Avoid Anice White for now. I love it but unless you like "frit on a stick," wait till you have good heat control and always warm it up in your kiln before using.
3) PPP - the dreaded practice, practice, practice... man, we all get sick of hearing it! (lol)
4) Fun colors to start with are turquoise and ivory due to the chemical reaction between the colors. You look like you're working with 3 colors and you will impress yourself!
5) IMPORTANT: Ventillation.... and a kiln to anneal. VENTILLATION comes first.
6) LE HINT: at the top of your LE page, you should see a red line of topics. They go like this (on my computer anyway): User CP FAQ Members List/RAOGK... go over to SEARCH. Click on the drop down to the right of it and type in any topic you want to research. MANY newbie questions have already got long threads with great information.
7) RAOGK= Random Acts of Glass Kindness. Click on this and add yourself to the list. You never know what your post office will turn up in a package!!!
Should have said this first but: WELCOME!!!
