Default Double Helix Glass update? please

I wrote to them 2 or 3 days ago and never got any kind of a response...I am sure they are busy filling orders but...

after a year I still have some gaia that I love and still loves me...some for the glass that looks like cobalt and one that is clear...anion?

So what is new and what do I need to buy...I NEED new glass... I have glass...I want more glass...what an addiction!

Gaia is working beautifully for me...but I would like to try some new one's ...
DH please... I am very happy with their customer service and products
thanks in advance....pictures would be helpful...

I have sat here and scanned posts for 45 minutes but really would like something more concentrated please

Gaia, Nyx and Psyche are my favorites right now. If you have not heard back from them, give them a call. They answer phones monday - friday and are almost allways there throughout the day.

You have Gaia, Nyx and Aion. I would order some Kronos 2, it is different from the others, opaque and a wonderful base. Psyche is a must try and the new glass Khaos is apparently wonderful, I haven't tried it yet.

Yes, there glass is wonderful!

They just released a new glass Khaos (which I hope to get some before they run out) so they are probably super busy.

I would definately get the Kronos 2 and Nyx. They are lovely and easy to work (from a raku challenged person).

It's not new, but try Nyx!! I've had one rod sitting in my stash forever and decided to use it the other day and I love it! It's a beautiful creamy blue that reduces very easily to a metallic sheen.

Are these new glasses 104 COE? I haven`t worked with any silver glasses yet, although I have a few rods of them. When I get my ventilation in I`m going to give it a try, but from the colors I`ve seen of some of them I really LIKEY.
Might have to try and get some before it`s gone for good.

Psyche is consistent as far as I can tell, I've had three orders of it now.

Yes, they are all 104, and it's unlikely they'll be gone for good, DH is a pretty thriving business I would guess!

I don't know what's new but I have what's old! This is going back at least two, maybe three-ish years, when they were first getting out there and listing small, various batches on eBay. Before they made their move to making glass full time. I'd contacted them back then and bought one rod of everything they had at the time -nine in all.

Sugar Plum
Purple Nebula
Nebula
Dark Star
Passion Flower
Pacific Mist
Northern Lights
Rhubarb
River Rock (yes, a DH glass, full of silver)

Did anyone else ever buy from DH back then, or tried any of these?

I meant the colors I liked, not the business itself, lol!

I'd really love to see some pics! Rhubarb, in particular, I couldn't figure out. There was really only one that I'd liked, and do you think I could remember which one? The color was totally different depending on the lighting you're in. Baby blue-ish then more purple-ish. I did ask DH at one time if they were going to bring any of these back but it didn't seem as if they would. Probably only if there was a strong enough uprising, hehe!

I don't have any of the beads left. they were either traded or given away or sold I think the only thing I have pictures of may be the Dark Star or the Nebula but none of my beads had purple in them..

I'm torching this week. I'll dig out the Rhubarb and see what I get this time
