Default Andromeda

I can't seem to find any good images on this Andromeda.

I can find this description which makes this glass look interesting "Andromeda is a striking sparkle color. This color combines a Triple Passion style strike with a Paparazzi style sparkle".

Does anyone have pictures or worked with Andromeda that they would like to share?

Thank you

I have some. The glass is tough to get a good picture of. I have three pendents on my Etsy page that are made using it. Like I said pics don't do it justice. The rod has a greenish color to it with tons of sparkle. It has a slight strike as well.

I was hoping to score some Andromeda in the We Love Our Customers sale, but it was sold out in minutes.

GA just had their customer appreciation sale and I got a pound of it then. You can order directly from their site. It's really cool. Really sparkly and can vary depending on how you use it. I've used it in conjunction with other colors for backing.
They also send me a sample of Jackpot.. and ohhh my goodness I salivate at how glittery it is! I use Starburst quite a bit as well.

I'm sure they do, I was hoping to score during the big sale.

I've tried to order from Salt City Glass, and seem to be the only person receiving sub-par service. Sent them an inquiry about pricing before they listed it, and never heard back. Tried to ask a question about one of their sales and also never hear back.

I was going to try them out, as a new vendor, but it appears they don't want my business.

I like it alot even. Some great sparkle in it even though you can't see it very well in the pic. This is over clear.

I don't have anything yet with straight Andromeda. This is a set made with Andromeda mixed with Parramore white, Silver Flambe frit, encased. Hard to see the sparkle, but it's definitely there.

We are so excited. Marcel is sending Donna a Dragon's Eye. It is her Easter gift from me. I will post pictures when it arrives. Marcel is a true artist.

I have one bead to show. It's over white, encased. Hard to photograph, very sparkly and the haze is kinda cool.
