Yeah, I'm guessing "Oddly Odds" means "Odds that are so Odd that they wouldn't sell just as regular Odd Lots so we gave them a new name". Or maybe they're different batches, I don't know.

I was at Glassworks in Belgium when this batch of odds first came out, and they looked really cool in rod form so I took a HUGE bunch home with me - 95% is still sitting there untouched. I like Lemon Grass and Painted Desert, but most of the rest... blech.

Yep mine too. I can't remember which one it was that I really liked. Anyway I bought a ton more and apparently there were two different batches and the second was totally different. I still have about two pounds left!

The oddly odds are the same batch / batches, but are noticabaly different. Cosmic storm has 3 variations and Lemongrass has two - one of which I like, it has more blue in it. I think any order from Frantz gets a set of rods of the oddly odds right now.

I think I have about 437 versions of coral... give or take a few.

I have visions of wild parties late at night at the glass factories involving legal and illegal substances where they throw whatever they want in the pot and see what it does...

That was exactly my reaction! And no picture with it, so it was a total mystery color.

I'm loving Lemongrass, still working my way through some of the rest... They all seem to make fun aliens and dinos.

Well old, unwanted, unsold or not, I am excited about the particular color and can't WAIT to receive it....

Sorry, didn't mean to rain on your parade. New glass is always fun.

Christopher, let us know if it has the same lovely colours as the demo paddle. If so, I may have to buy some!

Will do! I can't wait to play with it. Actually I have a sample rod that came with another order. I guess I'll have to melt some down and make a basic bead tomorrow morning and then post pics...
