I am after that fuchsia pink glass I could not find on tuffnells or off mandrel , or am i not looking in the right place .
Not baby pink or pink so it is near to purple but Pink that kind of pink dark and lush.
rubiono oro or CIM cranberry pink, both are transparent, there isnt a opaque bright pink in 104
Try layering rubino over a blue - periwinkle is good.
Bullseye light fuschia striker (http://off-mandrel.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65_88_92&products_id=527) from off mandrel, currently sold out though.
Ohh you could be after Rubino - this is a striker, you heat it, it goes clear then gently re-heat to bring out the colour. Work further out in the flame and with slightly more oxygen.
Or less fussy id Reicenbach's Pink Lady! She's a sexy momma!

Tis pretty - I have some of this - but it's 90. I think Stacey is working with 104 at the moment!
I use some r'bach fuchsia frit. Yummy:

I pull it into stringers, and a little goes a long way.

what a beauty!
Lovely bead Kirsty! :)
Yes, as Helen says, if it's a really bright pink you're after, Bullseye might be the way to go. They seem to have the brightest pinks, and they behave really well in the flame, even I can get them to stay pink and I usually nuke pinks to a lovely brown shade for fun. :D Excuse the dodgy bead, but this was made with one of the Bullseye opals and possibly the trans light pink striker. I think it was this one (http://www.warm-glass.co.uk/Shop/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=2029), but I got it in a mixed Bullseye bundle, so I may be wrong. Warm Glass (http://www.warm-glass.co.uk/Shop/CategoryProducts.aspx?CategoryId=59) usually have some.

Oops - just seen Trudi's post. Sorry, yes it is a COE 90 glass, so can't be mixed with 104, but it can be annealed on the same kiln schedule.
Hope you find some pink!!!!!

tis a beauty Helen
Yes that bead is totally dodgy and truly horrendous, if you send it to me I'm sure I can dispose of it safely so it doesn't harm anyone. ;)
*Goes off to look up the colour*
;D ;D ;D :D

The bullseye pink striker and violet striker are reason enough to keep a selection of COE 90 rods around the house :)
For one of my customers I had to make a focal matching a dress of hers.
Maria Louisa advised me to use CIM cranberry pink over white :
