Default Color charts Effetre, CiM, Reichenbach 104, Ornela, Lauscha and Kugler 104

My color chart project has reached a new milestone. I have made and printed a poster with color charts of Effetre, CiM, Reichenbach 104, Ornela, Lauscha and Kugler 104. The poster measures 29,7 cm by 84 cm.

Unfortunately it is not possible to send the poster abroad, it is to expensive in packaging and shipping for a poster worth €5,=
But I am coming to the Gathering this year and I will bring a bunch of posters with me. If you want to be sure to get one, let me know and I will reserve them for you.

My color chart project is an ongoing project. Glass manufacturers develop new colors all the time, so my charts are being updated all the time. I will update the charts on my website and I will reprint the poster in time.

If there are any colors that you miss on my charts, please feel free to donate a rod of this color for updating.

You can see the colorcharts on my website.

I really really really really really really really really would like to buy one of your posters. However, it doesn't look like I will be going to The Gathering in Rochester. I was wondering if you would be shipping some of your posters when your in the states(Wishful thinking, I know..lol)? If that is a possibility I definitely would like to reserve two of them. I've printed out what you have already, but having the poster with everything would make me sooo happy!! No pressure by the way.

Hi Miriam!! I just spent a good while enjoying your color charts!! They are Fabulous!! Much better representation of the colors than any that I've seen - and I love your use of the lentil format. Thank you so very much for sharing your hard work with us. Terrific!!!!! Cheers! Joan P. S. I still read and enjoy your GLASSS book too - really well done and wonderful to see all of the talent in a fresh, new way! I have never regretted buying it!

I, too, would love to have one of these. Not sure I can make the gathering, but will be checking with friends to see who's going.

Thanks Joan, I am glad you enjoy the book.

It will be difficult to send them while being at the gathering. Maybe someone you know is going and can get you one.

I will try and think of a way to get you a colorchart and if you have a suggestion, lets hear it.

perhaps we could find someone who is going to the gathering and would be willing to do a "bulk buy" of these and mail them out to everyone afterwards?

I Definitely would participate in a group buy. Good idea, the trick is to find someone who is going and who is willing to do this.

Miriam I love your color charts, I could sit and make a wish list all afternoon after looking at them. If anyone is willing to put together a bulk buy of some sort I would really like to get one of the posters.

I am limited to 23 kg of luggage. I have to juggle a bit with my cabin luggage I guess.
Besides the posters I have to bring a few books with me.

If someone would organize a bulk buy, that would be the best way I think.

hmmmm, if we did a bulk buy, would the shipping be more affordable since you could ship a bunch at once? then you wouldn't have to haul them all over here in your luggage

Would these need to be rolled or folded? I might be able to coordinate a bulk buy, it just would be easier if they folded and fit into a large mailing envelope. If not I would need to research mailing tubes....

Vista Print also will allow you to upload files.

Susan, if you did a bulk buy for them, I'd pay extra to have it shipped in a tube rather than have it creased. Beautiful job, Miriam!

OK, if Miriam and I can work it out, I will host the bulk buy...I will start checking on tubes, it's really the right way to do this.....Miriam what are the measurements of the chart rolled up?

Thanks everybody.

The posters should definitely be shipped in a tube. The poster measures 29,7 cm by 84 cm and weight is about 40 grams per poster.

Shipping from here is €19,95 for a package less then 2 kg and uninsured. The only way to send insured is by FedEx or UPS and that would be around €80,=

I can bring some posters with me, but not to much. I looked into Café Press, but they charge ridiculous prices. Vista Print doesn't print the size the poster is made on.

I am so sorry not to be able to get you all a poster in a simple way.

What happens if you upload it to Lulu.com or somewhere like that and make it public. That way, a person can order it from home and have it shipped to their house? Kind of like making a book public. Would that work?
That took a huge amount of time Miriam and you did a great job!

First of all, I made the poster in a format on European measurements which the companies like Lulu, Vista Print and Café Press don't make. This would only work if I made a totally new layout.

Secondly, they charge outrages prices for printing. If I could find a printing on demand company which would print the size I made the poster for, I don't want you to pay over $25 for this poster.

The only option I see now is that someone organizes a bulk buy and I will bring the posters to Rochester.

OK, I have all the figures for the Bulk Buy except for the cost of the poster. Once you get to the US the posters can be shipped down to me in NJ (one state away) and I will take care of the rest. Miriam once you PM or post the cost of the poster, I can post the Bulk Buy....then folks can start to PM me. What is the latest date we can give you the number of posters needed? PM me if you like. Susan

I would really like a poster - I live in Bermuda but can have it shipped to an address in NY and will get forwarded to me (at my own expense) from there. Pls add me to the list.

Sorry to be late to the party, but...wouldn't it be easier for Miriam to just bring the file of the poster on a flash drive or something, and then have it printed here in the States at a Kinko's or similar?
