Wow! Christopher - your work is so clean and gorgeous! Did you add some other sparkle to the color or is what the color looks like used by itself??

Thanks Sandy, it's all what the color looks like. I'm really hoping he comes out with some more colors in this series. I hear through the grapevine there may be a red on the way, guess we have to wait and see. I hope so. NightCat, you won't be dissappointed. Did you get the Elvis Dark or just the lighter red. Hopefully the dark it's a really fun color and really dark. The other red is nice too, but the dark is a bit different.

Hi Folx - Two new Blizzard colors are out for Spring!! Kiwi Blizzard is an icy, lime green, again with the fine white flecks, although this color is a tad more translucent than the other dense Blizzard colors. And a nice, opaque light Pink Blizzard is fresh out this month. It looks like it would be a good base for a skin-tone blend. ABR and Winship have just gotten them both. OK, Winship will have it in by Monday! :->
BTW - Paul is trying to settle all the brand-name confusion once and for all, and just go by his own name: Trautman Art Glass, or TAG.
And Chris - great marbles! ~Jenny Newtson, sales etc for TAG

The rods come thru with a texture, but they are smooth like butter, I use them like any other WYSIWYG color. No need to gather them up and re-pull, great for surface work and implosions. Truly a great addition to our pallette!

I used some of the Teal Blizzard (I think it was called Teal - one of the blue ones anyway) in this pendant - it is really nice and easy to use!
