I bought this thinking it would be like the frit but it doesnt seem to want to play the same.
Does anyone have any of this colour, and what can I make with it? Any ideas will be welcome ;D
Eagerly watching this as ive bought the same and can only get poo from it :'(
Yep it's the yellow kind of poo!
Make the frit into stringer instead!

Make little turds and sell them as bead poo ;D

OK....so what do I do with my 5 fat rods of yellow poo?
Perhaps I can use them as chopsticks?
Someone must know of a good use for them?? :o :o
Only 5...ive got 7 and a half of the little sh..s left ;D
Do they reduce? you could maybe put shiny dots on things with them?! x
I dont think they reduce.
Perhaps we should have a competion to see who can get the best from this lovely glass ;D ;) ;D who know there might be an amazing discovery just waiting to be released.
I think I might experiment and choose some glass to go with it with my eyes closed.
buy a frit maker from Martin?
make an ivory olive shaped bead, melt the end of the iris gold ( about the size of a pea) get it good and hot.
Touch one side of the ivory olive, and spin yourself a 'thread' of the iris gold all over the olive.
Melt in very slowly and lightly, cool, then waft through a slightly reducing flame.
You should see some golden lines coming through, and can encase if you want.
I'll make an example tomorrow, and post a pikkie, if I get home from work in time. IF!

One cool tip already.
Have you run a search on LE?
Thanks Kirsty, I will try that later.
Tan, I havent run a search on LE as I always get sidetracked and start reading about other things....3 hours later I still havent got to what I first went to search for :D ;D :D ;D
I think I would turn it into frit too. But I would heat and dunk it to make frit rather than crush it manually.
I have some of this colour too, can't remember what I did with it but I have a bundle tucked away. I'd be interested to see what people come up with this colour in rod form.
Good luck ;)
I don't think that the 104 works anywhere near the same as the old 96 version! I know when I tried the 104 I couldn't get a thing out of it!
And it won't work any better as frit!

I did make some frit with it when I first bought it, but had no good results from it.
I have tried making an ivory bead, its in the bubbles cooling, I also tried it with blackcurrant and silver plum, will have to see the results later
