Substitute for TAG Fire Lotus
Recently, I've come across several tutorials that mention using TAG Fire Lotus glass. Since it's no longer available for purchase, what would a good substitute for it? Thanks. Lydia

It's a red with whatever makes the amber/purple colors strike added to it from what I remember. Something like NS Loki's Lipstick would probably be a good substitute.

Thanks, but TAG Fire Lotus is a 104 COE glass and I think NS Loki's Lipstick is a 33 COE glass.

Check out Brad's new glass. There are a couple that are super close to Fire Lotus!

Shardi, I checked out Terra Nova 2.1 on the thread you included and it's gorgeous . I'm going to check out my DH stash to see if I have some to try out. I recently bought an assortment of DB glass, so should have at least one rod of it. Tillie, it just happens that I had ordered some of Brad's new glass and it should arrive sometime next week. It looks like I have glass that should be a good substitute for the Fire Lotus. Thanks for your help. Lydia

Hi Sally, actually I would also like to know which of Brad's new glass is a good substitute for Fire Lotus. My box arrived but I haven't had a chance to unpack it yet. If you look at the thread, Show me your beads made with Striking Color glass by Troll Lover, you'll find Brad Shute's link to his Etsy store, or you can go directly to Etsy and look for Striking Color glass. He's currently having a sale and has lots of glass available for sale. Lydia

Thanks for the information. Just ordered AMC618. It looked the closest color to what I have gotten with Fire Lotus. Can't wait to try it.

That is the problem. They don't seem to be producing it any longer but it was lovely glass.

TAG still makes 104 they just currently are backlogged on borosilicate and it is their larger market and where Paul's humble roots started. So that is the focus.
104 will return. I've talked to Jenny several times on this ... so much so that I'm going to create a Urban Legend meme for TAG.
Seriously ... spam them with email requests ... particular what color you want. I still have a nice stock pile of some particularly lushious pull date of Fire Lotus.
P.S. Just checked their website and they currently have Golden Emerald and Lake Geneva in stock.

I just bought Fire Lotus from Jenny last weekend at GSW.

Do you think that they have some Fire Lotus left to sell? Anyone here willing to sell some? I have several murrini tutorials that call for Fire Lotus but have no idea what it's supposed to look like which is why I stature this thread asking if anyone knew what a good substitute for it would be. I'm off to their web site to see if they have any more to sell. I'm not on Face Book, so miss any information listed there. Lydia

Lydia, I have a little, but don't want to get rid of it. I will send you a 4-6" short if you just want to see what it is. Let me know.

Well Hell-Ooooo ladies! It's been a while. Yes, Marie did get something like Fire Lotus at the Glass Stock West show, but it was a more pastel odd lot. Pretty, but not quite the same.

BTW, we are absolutely going to make more 104 when we can. There is an expansion underway and some new DEQ regulations to follow and then yes - Fire Lotus will be back. Taxco too!
