Title: Does anyone have an opinion on terranova?
Post by: turnedlight on July 02, 2008, 10:34:28 PM
I have a few bits of terra left, and while I love the new ones, I really love terra.. is terranova as good and as colourful?

I'm interested too. I finished my little stash of terra a couple of weeks ago so I've been mulling over TerraNova 2  - I've resisted so far but would love to see anyone's pics?

This is the LE thread - I'm not sure how long I'll hold off  ::)

I got some of one of the recent oddlots that Terranova2 was said to be modelled on, TN200. If that is anything to go by, I'd be out there buying Terranova2 asap, it is just gorgeous!! I do have a little bundle of Terra left, plus a bit of second-batch Terra that I don't like as much - was too frightened to use too much, but this new stuff might change all that!! Unfortunately the only piccie I have is boring:

but it is capable of way more colour than this! If I ever get half a spare minute to sort stuff out again, I'll photograph some more!

I'm just waiting for Terranova 2 to come over to Europe, Triton was on sale here weeks before I got the odd lots I ordered on its release date. And I had to pay, rotten customs and excise!

Nice beadies!

I just had a look at the LE thread, and I want some (thanks for the link Sarah! I've joined them, but I just don't get how to navigate the site.. it's weird..)
So, where to buy it.. Martin has it.. :)

Martin has Terranova 1, it's the new one that does the wild red stuff!

I just showed this in show and tell but it's made with one of the odds that were supposed to be the testers for the new Terranova. Like Emma says, if TN200 is like terranova 2 then it's well worth getting as there are some lovely colours produced by this glass.

I bought Terranova and Luna when they stopped making Terra - must have some of the first batches and though DH raved about them I thought they were awful. Couldn't get anything out of them.

As they are now raving over Terranova 2 I'm a little suspicious and will hold off until I know what everyone else thinks.

I absolutely loved the original Terra but I also really like Pysche and Triton. Can't get much out of Khaos - but I generally find that for one person that hates one type of DH glass there'll be someone else that loves it.

Certainly for ease of use you can't beat Psyche and Triton - both are reducers.
