Ok, fresh out of the kiln this morning! Custom cane I made pulled from a core of black and Zeus over, the other is gold rubino with Zeus over. I was so surprised by the peacock purples and blues over the black! It's amazing. I tried to capture it the best I could, it's a tricky thing!
This is the black and Zeus backlit, Zeus is the amber you see. 
This one shows how glossy the peacock luster is! 
This is the gold rubino backlit. It turns a really cool apricot color. Hard to see, but it has greenish yellow swirls through it, it really looks like boro.

Kimberly that is GORGEOUS!! I love the fluidity!
BTW, Jenny helped me get the luster on my beads by telling me how YOU did it!! So I really have you to thank too. I was so happy when it all finally "clicked"! Just ask her...I think I was shouting with glee in my emails at her. I've been reducing EVERYTHING now, and am so surprised with some of the glasses I never got to do anything! Yay!
Nagi, I cant wait to see how rubino/zeus works for you!! It's so fun, please post your results!

KILLAH!! Nice work, nice work. I like the organic shapes on those disks, Renee. And Kimberly - your trees are me-e-e-e-elting! Me-e-e-elting!
One thing that I had tried with the Zeus was making some floral stringers. I put the Zeus over an ASK pink, pulled it down and did some flowers that didn't do much. But I'd encased them. So I put them on the outside and was pleased with the antique peach color that came from *reducing* the Zeus over the pink. Here is the bead - it's a large hollow of Cezanne (you can see the purple line of the sterling liner inside) with flowers of Zeus over one of the ASK Pinks. The whole thing was reduced heavily in the Kimberly-style (that's a technical term, lol!)

TAG has a new batch of Taxco available now on their website... I'd like to see what others have been getting color-wise from reducing this glass. Anyone have pictures?

Woohoo! Jenny emailed me that I won the one pound of TAG 104!!!!  I guess not too many of you sent in the feeback forms! 
Thank you, Paul and Jenny!

Laff, that's true. Slackers! ;-> I had about four or five people from each COE return forms, and everyone who sent them in got an entry-per-form. So if someone sent in four forms, they got four entries. Hayley was pretty thorough and had at least a dozen forms returned. So that upped your odds, m'dear! BTW I'm sending you a rod of a new EXP that is a dark Green Dalai... deep heat a time or two, then strike for great streakyness. It's giving me nice blue and green colors so far... ~Jenny @ TAG

Here's the TAG Green Dalai image. It's an opaque forest-to-teal green in the rod. I'll put it on the site under Rare and Special 104. This was simply heated to the core a couple of times in neutral, then surface struck a couple of times and encased.
