Title: BellaDonna Glass
Post by: Jennie Lamb on June 12, 2011, 09:25:23 PM
Has anyone out there tried the BellaDonna Glass from Arrowspring : Moody Blue and Purplescent?  http://www.arrowsprings.com/html/belladonna_glass.html (http://www.arrowsprings.com/html/belladonna_glass.html)

Have seen a few beads around that have been made with them and the rainbow slick on some look lush!!  Just wondering if it is worth a try or if they are very similar to Double Helix?

I happen to know that our Rachel has her paws on some as we speak - which is probably why she's so quiet  ;D  Why don't you drop her a pm.  She got it yesterday, so should have a reasonable idea of what it's like by now  ;)

I'm a bit underwhelmed with mine atm but I haven't had much time to play with it.

I think it's more to do with my disappointment with the cost of postage $28.61 on $50 worth of glass, which you don't find out until you've ordered.  Add to that £17.86 customs and ransom and it ended up at £35 each for a $25 bundle of glass ???

When I've used a bit more I'll post some photos but at that cost I'll probably turn them into shards to make it go further :)

I'm not impressed with mine, colours are a bit patchy when reduced and its a bit shocky. Might just be me!!

Well - I nearly have it at least!!! >:( >:(   Paid robbing Parcelfarce Worldwide an extra 12 quid to have it delivered on Saturday and the rotten devils never turned up with it - been on the phone to them today and they are sending it on Friday now - grrrrr!!!

I have ordered a bundle of each - so I shall let you lovely chaps know what its like - when I ever manage to lay my mitts on it, that is.......

I hope they're coughing up the £12 - bunch of robbers that they are.  There was me thinking you were immersed in pretty colours too ...  :(
