In what order do you sort your glass

[pixiewillow]

You all make a total mockery of my SINGLE (!!!!) shelf in a single cupboard where the black, white and clear sit to the left, then effetre in the middle and CiM to the right in no particular colour order whatsoever. My DH and other 'special' (to me) glasses like cranberry and pandora and my single rod of EDP and copper green are wedged in the drawer above (along with bags of frits, murrini, presses, goldstone, spare tools, silver leaf/wire, etc). I don't label the rods but I do make sure that the one labelled rod in each pack is the last one I use.

Hmmm, thinking of it, maybe that's why I come up with some of the more 'interesting' colour combinations

Phheewwwwww I kept quiet for this one lol I have a set of 3 plastic draws from wilko that all my glass gets thrown in!!
roughly sorted.....blues and greens top draw, reds ornge yellows middle, pinks purples bottom!! then i have a array of jam jars on the counter top with cim shoved in one (i dont have much!  ) reichenbach in another and odds n sods in the rest!! Organisation is not my strong point lol

Oh and i do the same too with the last rod in the pack labelled thing to hehehe

Mine needs more organising, but I'm a bit busy! I have a cardboard box on its side with 3 mdf shelves in it - that's got my Effetre, Vetrofond and CiM bundles in. In jars I've got my Reichenbach, P&T and DH and a small amount of 96. Then there's a lot more jars with things like mixed colour selection packs in them - one for the pinks, two for CiM, one for Reichenbach, and jars next to my torch with colours I've been using/planning to use. Little spice and sauce jars for stringers, with special ones in one place. I do have pipes, which are mostly sawn up and the ends filed, I just haven't got round to sticking them together and putting things in them! (My cardboard box needed replacing, because it has quite a slant now).

I'm behind in my labelling too (but now I have a laser printer and sticky labels, so  can make very pretty labels for my own glass when I have the time!). So my older stuff has every rod labelled, while newer only has one or two per bundle. I include the date I got things on the label, just in case I need to be able to keep batches separate.

I've found that the smaller storage boxes from Maplin are great for keeping murrini in. They have small compartments with fixed walls, so unlike the removable wall ones, little things can't creep under the dividers. Good for beads too! They stack without sliding off each other.
