I merrily used almost a whole rod before realising that was all I had.. and it was mixed in with my CIM but I have a feeling it is northstar (it's black in the rod but reduces really easily)?
Anyhow, anyone know where I can buy some?
i think cpt. Jack Sparrow stocks it doesn't he? :D
(sorry i know its lame but it had to be done)
Last time I looked Kathryn it was about $100 a pound I think!!!
I adore this glass!
oh no! I used it all through one of my owl beads, instead of just the top layer :o What a shame :( I will have to be more careful in future - are there any other glass rods I should be sparing with? I am hanging on to my little bit of Terra..

I just found it in the states, you can buy a quarter pound for $25, but the postage quoted is $31 which is just silly, so I have messaged and asked if there is a cheaper postage option.
Also, if I spend more than £18 I'll get charged import duty, won't I? or is that just on the goods and not including postage?
Ooh thanks - I'll have a look..
Aww boo, they got back to me - they have a minimum order of $100. Still really want some, is Frantzartglass easy to deal with? I've never bought any glass from the States..

Which have a minimum order? Sundance?
I bought my torch and starter tool kit along with a mix pack of Moretti from Sundance. I chose shipping with USPS (postal services) and it worked just fine. Everything arrived fairly swiftly and in proper order, well packed and nothing was broken.
Yes, Sundance. There's nothing else I really need to get right now.
kathryn,
I am happy to go in on an order with you, split the shipping etc.

Frantzartglass are fine to deal with and have a great selection of glass but my first order from them got sent to the UK and then swanned about in Parcel force for weeks (not their fault).
They've just sent another order and given me a tracking number - that USPS site doesn't recognise so I can see further fun this time as well
I got some black pearl - from a lovely lady on LE who kindly cut the rods in half to get them into cheaper postage :)
So, anybody want to swap two half rods for a rod of clio? ;D
I only got a 1/4 so I really only want to do one swapsie..
I just found a stick in my old stash that I had stored under the stairs :)
Did you want it or is one stick not enough?
Clio in your 'old stash'?!
I thought clio was new.. ??? I haven't tried it yet.

Ohh am interested - what does Black Pearl do?

Here's a pic of the back of the lentil, though it doesn't do it justice! It's just black pearl. It is quite metallic and has reds and blues.

this picture makes it look browner than it is. I just made the bead and it was lightly reduced.
