Lausha Glass
I am going to dive in head first with Laushca glass now.
I am placing my first order today. I am going to order a sample pack, one rod of each other but I would also like to add some volume as well.
If you were going to order just five colors, which would they be? Keep in mind I really prefer colors that are reactive, thank you!
Jacqueline

Lauscha has a pile of colors that are reactive. Steel Blue, Cocoa, Buckhorn With Silver, vanilla Ice, SuperNova (try this over clear and under silver colors. It is loaded with silver), and most of the Milky Ways. The 7 Special "Pinks" that Flamedame has are loaded with silver and gold. The turquoises turn red with reduction.
Then of course you have to try the Lauscha Transparents! Especially purples and reds.
JMHO of course!!

I love everything I've tried so far, but I haven't tried all of the colours yet. I highly recommend the following:
1) Steel Blue
2) Olive
3) Cocoa
4) Nuclear Brownie (Buckhorn with Silver)
5) Hawaiian Purple (Blue-Violet)
6) Thuringen Herb
... I haven't even tried any of the transparents I have yet.
I have test results posted for Cocoa, Thuringen Herb and Olive if you are interested.

Yeah, I have your SuperNova, but I still haven't melted any of it. I also have yet to breach and actually test my Peach Transparent, Thuringen Forest, Salmon, Peach Blush, the Hawaiian Purple (although I used this enough to know I love it) I got from you and a few other colours.

I gave you Hawaiian purple? Temporary insanity?
I don't even remember buying that.

Thanks so much Paula!
I'm working on getting as much blogged as I can. lol. It's impossible to cover everything.
I'm not using much pink right now, but I know that I'll need to again as soon as winter starts to gloom me in.

My favorite lauscha colors are Steel blue, cocoa, olive and trans red.
Just remember; they need to be annealed at a higher temperature!
I have had lots of beads crack using trans red and annealing at "normal" temperatures.
