White anice
In going through all of my glass I found a pound of white anice. I can not for the life of me remember why I would have purchased it. Any ideas?

Because you love glass that explodes into tiny fragments when it gets close to a flame?

Did you ever take a class with Jim Smircich he has a cool way of using anice white. That is the only reason I have some.

Heres a link to what Jim does with it and a mini tutorial if you go to the bottom of the first page you can see some photos pretty cool.

I hate exploding glass. Have the scars to prove it!
I do not have silver for fuming-shame that bead on the wetcanvas link is cool! I do have plenty of intense black. Perhaps I shall be brave and try that today. I am making beads in anticipation of selling everything after the 8th and hope to have some beads made up for some pocket money. Christmas is coming!
Thank you!

It took me a long time to figure out how to handle anice white, but I finally got there.
I DO have an alternate use for it, though. After years of fighting with people about wearing PFDs in kayaks I know that it's a battle to get folks to take safety seriously. So when I take someone into the studio for the first time, and I put them into leather apron and didys, I KNOW they're going to get surly with me. So the first thing I do when I get the torch lit is stick a rod of Anice White into the flame, and while it's popcorning all over the studio I give them the safety lecture.
So far, it seems to be pretty effective.

It is! Just let me know how much for shipping and I'll Paypal you. I've wanted to try the Smircich intense black reaction for ages, and this is just the opportunity to push me into it... hopefully I'll be able to make it work! Thank you so much!

I love anice white - beautiful reactins with hairfine stringers of dense black, try copper green and rubino oro aso and cook istreally good, let it run, you'll get colors and webbings beyond imagination ... worth the assle of warming it forever at the very end of the flame before really heating it.

Does it pre-annealing it help it not be a weapon, or should I not waste my time?

There's hope, then. Thanks!
Every couple years I try, it explodes, I scowl and put it back... Maybe I'll be brave again.

I got mine to do this when I was a newbie but have never been able to get it to do it again! Excuse the badly formed beads!

Another vote for "I love anice white" from me. Love love love this glass. I preheat the end in my kiln when I turn it on.
Makes great FLOW BLU beads.

Flow blue indeed I'm curious too?
I tried the Jim Smircich trick with black and Anice. I didn't use intense black though and I didn't see it mentioned in his tut on Wet Canvas. T

Smircich teaches you to heat it with a propane flame first and then add the oxy. This works for most shocky glass.

The other beautiful thing about it is that it doesn't devit in murrini like regular white does.

To make a flow blue bead, start with dark lapis blue and encase with transparent cobalt. Pull it out into a stringer, the thinner the better for this. Then make a base barrel bead (or whatever your fave shape is) out of anice white (which you preheated in your kiln to cut down on the annoying shattering) and decorate the bead with your stringer. The cobalt looks like the edges of flow blu china, while the lapis looks like the solid blue that the color should have been.
Let's see if I can find any to photograph around here.....
Found a couple. These are forever old though.
And a nice link (if it works) to some amazing pictures of flo blue china. Btw, correct spelling is FLO BLUE but it's common to spell it FLOW BLUE.

Very nice technique Sue! I wonder what other colors will do that?

Would not be surprised... med trans green over an opaque green? Trans red over a red core?
The thing with the blue is it does represent something that people love- flo blue china.
It's not my technique. It was either here or on Wet Canvas that someone posted the formula.

These are from forever ago, but I may have to go back and try this again. It's red copper green over anice white

So pretty! I am now in possession of the offending Anice White and was thinking about trying either red copper green or red roof tile... I know both of them do that with a Czech blue I have.
