It's got more reds and purples, I think. It's a kiln striking glass. I didn't know if I should do anything to strike it in the flame, but remembered Jed told me just stick it in the kiln and leave it there and it will strike.
Now I wish I had gotten some of the light, too. I like those pastel colors you guys got from that.

Wow!!! Gorgeous beads, everyone. I got some Pandora at the Gathering, but haven't tried it yet. Maybe tonight. Thanks for the inspiration.

I can't stop looking at it...and I'm hoping there will be enough to go around, and at a decent price, too!!! Can't wait for the official "roll out" - wish I could have made it to the Bash to pick up a stash!!! Drats...

I also got an odd lot that was not the light or dark, but a prototype that gave me really pastel colors. I don't have the number with me. So, three odd lots that I know of.

Ok, here are tiny samples of the Pandora Dark. They are very very dark and this picture was taken in very bright light. The focal is of the odd lot I mentioned above. Looking at my first picture, I think the round and maybe the shell were also out of this odd lot.

The goddess has a core of transparent vetrofond crystal clear. I usually do that with the silver glass to stretch it out, a goddess takes almost a whole rod of glass. I think I might get the color variations in them because they are sculpted and heated at different rates in different areas, the boobs go on last.
Jed showed me the inside of a puck of Pandora and it's got the reds on the inside. I don't know why, but maybe that's why I got the reds on the torso and waist.
It usually happens that the colors are very different in different parts of the goddess with the striking glass. Happens with raku and some of the R4s, too, and the DH Terranova.

I'm going to play more, it is fun to put it in green and have it come out purple! You never know what you are going to get.

Puzzled?
I know Jed was selling it to get the word out but I thought it was sort of funny that ABR is selling it now when it is not be be released for 2 weeks or less. That is what I was told.?? I guess I know where I stand.

Hummmmm.....!?! 
At least you got a chance to see it, fondle it, etc. (that puck looks amazing!). There seems to be more than a bit of perplexity regarding this color, the various versions (lt., dk, med., odds 1, 2, 3...), what the price will be (i.e., ABR has it for $100/lb., but if you order less, it's $30+/per quarter?), and when it will actually become available to vendors and customers. I am similarly puzzled, Bill!
Thanks, though, to everyone who has posted their lovely photos and findings so far...

Price?
Hi DeAnne
If I were a lampworker I would take offense to paying above the SRP of a glass when it is new and everyone wants it.
It is like" STICK IT TO THEM when it is new mentality"
I suppose it gets a few quick sales .

Hey Bill~~~
I agree that it IS a bit painful to swallow the fact that smaller orders get charged a higher price, especially when - pound for pound - the shipping is calculated on weight and if you pay "minimum" or actual ship charges (especially in light of how HUGE a demand I think there will be for this glass!) it seems a bit unfair.
On the other hand, I think everyone is feeling the economic "pinch" right now - so I suppose there may be a perceived "penalty/reward" for buying a smaller/larger quantity to motivate sales and make time "packing and shipping" worth it for the vendor. Since the time and effort to pack and ship a 1/4 lb. is so similar to the effort put forth to pack and ship a lb. or two, then it's like leaving "dollars on the table" to charge the same amount for a small quantity as a large...at least that is the way I've had it explained to me - in theory!
I suppose one way to off-set this is to go in on a larger quantity with a couple people and then split it up, but the ship cost to distribute almost makes that not worth it either.
Arrrgghh!!!

Does DH have any rules about pricing or release dates? Sounds like this is an issue for DH to deal with if needed.

Maybe ABR is selling it on order until it arrives?

Vendors are NOT supposed to sell the glass until the release date! That is a rule that DH established. They also are NOT supposed to sell it above what DH sells it for.
But yes, it's an issue that DH will have to take care and I am sure they will

Maybe it was left over from the stock they had at the Gathering? Winship has it on their site also, they were both vendors there.
