Double Helix Pandora??
Anyone heard any new about a new color from Double Helix called Pandora? If so have you tried it? If you've tried or tested it how did you like it? I've seen a picture of a paddle of it and it kinda looked like gray poo, but the descriptions says that it strikes purples and greens and possibly some red too. I know I haven't received a newsletter from DH and it is not available on their site either.
Oh the lure of new colors, what a terrible addiction!!

I bought some at the Gathering and haven't tried it yet. It is a kiln-strike color, so you have to soak it at annealing temperatures for like 4 hours to bring out the best color.

Thanks Ellen, would definitely love to see what it looks like cause I'm an impatient person and having to soak beads for 4 hours seems like a bit of a pain.

I bought some "Pandora Light" at the gathering (I think it is an odd lot, but I don't know), damn, I thought I had bought one light and one regular. I should have pictures later this week. It was difficult to strike in the flame, but it is to strike in the kiln, so we'll see.

I just made the beads I wanted to out of it first, then popped in the kiln, therefore they have the long soak time.

I'm a dealer and I haven't been contacted about it yet either. I bet they are really busy between kids and the Gathering.

It's gorgeous!! It kiln strikes so the paddle wouldn't be a good way to judge the color. Ididn't do 4 hours maybe about 2 for mine and i got gorgeous purples and blues! I love this glass!

I watched Lewis at the gathering do a sculptured figure out of the Pandora. It was a pretty green with hints of purple and blue as he worked the glass. After it was kiln struck it went to a pretty purple blue color.
I bought lots of the glass but haven't got a chance to play yet. It's gonna be a love hate glass I got a feelin".

I used it (Pandora 2) this weekend over apple clear and I got lovely greens and reds..will take a picture and post later. I didn't see much while working on it and considered it a lost cause but it came out of the kiln with nice colors...I soaked mine about an hour.

Pandora
Here are some Pandora Pics for you. The green paddle is Pandora before it has been kiln struck. The purple paddle is after.
 
Pandora is a kiln striking color, no flame striking required. We recommend kiln striking for 4 hours at 1000 F or you can strike at your regular annealing temperature for a longer time. You could also put it through multiple annealing cycles.
We had a pre-release at the Gathering with our first few batches. We'd love to see your photos!
We will have a full release in a few weeks when we have enough made.
And we are definitely busy with glass and children!
Thanks
Jed and Julie at Double Helix Glassworks

I bought the Pandora light and the Pandora, LOTS of it.
Initially I was dissapointed as the style or techniques I use I really need to see what I'm getting while I'm working.
So I used it differently then popped it in the kiln and got some amazing colors when it finally popped out of the kiln.
I'll try post some pics later if I get time. Still trying to play catch up since the gathering. So many new glass colors to play with and I haven't had time to play.

that looks yummy - I love that it has green streakiness instead of the brown that so many other silver striking glass has.

I'd have to anneal mine several times; I never anneal that high or for that long.

Jed and Julie, if I encase pandora, will it also strike in the kiln under the encasement or not?

I think Ross over at www.abrimagery.com might still have some left. I'll wait till Double Helix has it on their website as you pay a little more at abr if you only buy a quarter or half pound.
