As Promised!

All of these were made with this mercadante glass.
All of them except #1 and #6 were were made with silver strike 5 small frit.

1 - Trans green/rod pickup w/NS-09 yellow
2 - Trans green/rod pickup w/SS5
3 - Trans green/rod pickup w/SS5
4 - Brilliant blue/rod pickup w/SS5
5 - dark cobalt/rod pickup w/SS5
6 - Light trans purple over bibidibobibidiblue
7 - Trans yellow/rod pickup w/SS5
8 - Trans yellow/rod pickup w/SS5
9 - Black/rolled in SS5
10 - Trans orange/rod pickup w/SS5
11 - Trans orange/rod pickup w/SS5

These were all encased with schott artistic except #6
My thoughts?
This is nice glass. It melts smooth, it doesnt bubble, it keeps its color fairly well, you cannot beat the price! the only issue I noticed was that the yellow turns a little darker than the rod after annealing.
