I think you can see an ongoing theme here... green.. I have real problems with green, cracking etc.. Green defeats me every time |
Oh, this is where I'm going to get in trouble... not taking notes with boro! To make matters worse, sometimes I make canes out of random unlabeled rods, just to use 'em up.
Green Opal... I kind of think it's a cane made with Extra Light Yellow over Silver Unobtainium over clear, with Amber Purple frit.
Poseidon's Keepsake is almost certainly that exact same cane, without frit.
Oxeloosund Evening, same cane again, with NS Ruby frit.
Verdigris... whew! Finally one I'm sure of! Cane made with ELY over Agua Azul over clear.
With greens, and also with anything sparkly, I use it mainly by striping it over a clear core and pulling it out into a cane. That way there's only a very thin layer sandwiched between lots of clear, and I can avoid most cracking.
