Rachel's had some success with this one, I think. Perhaps she'll be around later.
Ooooh I love this glass, I made these with it

you just wind it & reduce it, its lovely encased aswell, just reduce it before you encase it
Saffie, I bought it too and haven't got anything out of it - I remember I bought it because I saw some fab pics with it though.....hang on...bother, I can't find them, but I remember that Sasha's Silver and Michelangelo are actually one and the same, and that it's supposed to be reducing. HTH!
I'm in 2 minds about this glass. Sometimes I think I love it, sometimes I'm really not so sure.. I think I read somewhere that it can be either reduced or struck, or even just used as normal to get nice results. It is quite nice for flowers and stringer-y things, from what I remember...though Vicki, those beads look gorgeous! So I'm probably all wrong and it is best on its own!!
I find its not as consistant as kronos & I did get a couple of horrid colours, I think it is possible to over work it, I found that if I had to spend a bit longer on a bead thats when the colours went poohey :)
Hi
I've found this one the easiest out of the Precision glass - I just reduced it 2 or 3 times and encased. I think it works best if you let it cool a bit then lightly roll in a reducing flame. This set has some lovely purples as well as the blues. :) Can't get much out of the other colours though except black or poopy brown.

Ooops - meant to say that those beads are lovely Vicki. Are they just Sashas or is it over another glass?
Those beads have come out well Rachel and Vicki. I couldn't get anything at all out of it on the HH, but I've not tried on the Bobcat yet.
oooh those are yummy rachel :P
mine are just sashas, I enjoyed using it...I've used more than half my wee bundle just playing with it ;D
Rachel and Vicki, they are gorgeous. thanks for tips will have a play so reducing them and encase them seems to be general concencus. i will have a go this weekend
Cheers

Oooh! And to think, I'd been wondering what it was supposed to look like... Gonna have to have another go now!
