Default Gaffer Glass Purple Hearts

I came home from Tucson with some Gaffer glass to play with from the Gaffer Girls.

If you're struggling with getting a nice purple for purple hearts, maybe their glass can help. Here are some of my experiments:

Unfortunately, I don't know their glass well enough yet to tell you what the name of each color is, but I bet they could!

All are nice, but I like the top left one best.

I've used some of the veiled cane for butterflies and absolutely adore it - wonderful colors, and melts so nicely. Thanks for sharing your hearts!

They do! I got mine a few years back from Gail Joseph in Tucson. I think she only carries veiled but the Gaffer Girls carry it all.

I'm assuming that's the same 96 COE stuff?

You know, the GREAT thing about gaffer is you
can pile a bootyload of 96 COE frit on it too.

And gaffer glass is SOOO beautiful. I have some of
Gail's and a stash from someone else. It's like
the best kept secret in the 96 COE world.

A secret that needs to be shared

Lori, I LOVE the wispy trails of purple you got in those hearts!
I can never get them to look that nice!

Yes, it's the 96 COE, all truly compatible with itself.

I didn't do anything special to get those wispy trails. It just happened that way.

My friend has been working with Gaffer's frit over the last year, doing experiments and trying all the colours out over a variety of glass base colours; clear, black, white, ivory...
She's going to put it all together as a reference when she's done!
