I could swear I saw a chart with color tips
Does anyone have any idea where I might have seen a chart with glass colors and working tips?
Maybe I'm imagining it, but I could swear I saw it somewhere, maybe on someone's blog or website?
I got some of the fun hand pulled "shorts" and if I can figure out what they are I'd like to have at least a little idea of what to do with them, plus other regular colors that have reactions, etc.
It seems like somewhere I saw a chart with "work in cool flame", "reduction flame" etc. but where? or did I really see it?
Or is this something that everyone just needs to figure out for themselves?

passing the flame?
that has a little info.
thanks for posting this Eileen, I have the same question, I would love, LOVE a good cookbook for soft glass. I'd pay, if someone out there wants to put one together. I started taking notes figuring if no one else does, I will, eventually. But I get easily distracted.
aren't the 'shorts' wonderful?

I do have PTF, but I thought I saw something more like a chart, with a picture of the color, and some notes. I could be just wishful thinking here though, maybe I saw it in a dream. (I have a very busy dream life!)

Is this it? http://www.frit-happens.co.uk/wiki/Effetre
When I was going thru my favorite links trying to find what you're looking for, I found this. I had quite a bit of fun playing with some of these combinations.

Then there's this - I loved it when it was working and I'm sorry that it's been over run with spam.
