Thanks everyone for the help!
Bunyip: I checked out your list... very helpful!
I believe my local store (Delphi Glass) sells the Northstar rods at around $5/rod, depending on color. Is this a fair price?
Also, when I looked at this tutorial:
http://autochthonous-evolved.com/tut...%20Recipes.pdf, I saw that she rolled many of her beads in GA's Amazon Bronze. I love the look of this! Is there a NS alternative?
Bunyip--I notice that on your list you don't say much about rolling in frit, other than clear. Is there a good source for NS background/frit combinations?
Thanks Again!
