Lauscha Super Nova
Has anyone had any luck using Super Nova from Lauscha? Any tips, pics or suggestions? Thanks.

The best luck I had all by itself was a hollow. I think the pic is long gone.
I use it as a base for other silver glass. Lay some down on the mandrel and then lay down some more in a reducing flame, layer some other silver glass on top or even silvered stringer. Silvered transparents are nice.
It works well as a base for silver glass twists too. I'll use Super Nova as a base and add stripes of other reducing silver glass. Depending on how you use it, you'll see some purple without the brown that most opaque purples get when reduced. I use quite a bit of it.

the best luck i've had was to pull stringers and then apply in a reducing flame.

Firelady has two tutorials on her website. I got good results adding rubino over silver and then encasing.

Personally I wasn't a fan at all. I just used it up as a base for silver glass beads. LCOTMC....memories....

I also saw a series of TAG 104 colors done on SuperNova and they were to die for...

Storm it and use it over dark base colours (or itself).

I had a photo somewhere...
(These are from a while ago)
It storms to yellow-green-blue so if you use it over light colours it will look washed out and green, but dark colours will show it up.
I imploded stormed supernova in this one:

Love it! Turns out it likes to be reduced BEFORE it goes on the mandrel or as decor (and you can reduce further afterwards as well):

Jack.......I got best results with thin layers of Super Nova.
You need a bit patience and a few more cycles of reduction.
Super Nova also likes to be encased.
This is Super Nova on Lauscha dark red encased with Lauscha clear.
Good luck!
Elke

Those are lovely! I never got anything from reducing it normally, but it was quite a long time ago that I tried.

Some other SuperNova beads (sorry bout the horrible pics):
Hades base, Supernova stringer, brass frit & clear encasing
Supernova over Rubino
Supernova stringer over Psyche, clear encasing
All the Supernova was reduced BEFORE it went on the bead (melted it in a reduction flame), then reduced again after placement. It also likes to be encased.
