Gaffer Glass

[awrylemming]

Ooooh, yummy!  Since my jewellery business is called Slurple, that probably gives you a general idea of how much I love purple

Denise, Im guessing the Chalcedony you have is an older batch then ? If so please may I buy some from you ? My recent batch isn't doing quite what I had hoped

I'm fortunate that Denise gave me two bundles last April and I'm using it sparingly to conserve it.

Pat, did you get any joy with the chalcedony colours?

[Princess Peggy (Priscilla McGirr)]

I've been playing with some 96 thatSue sent me, and it's in the kiln now....not sure I've got much from the chalcedony, but I'll post pics tomorrow.  I must say I like the way the 96 handles....so far!

Pat, did you get any joy with the chalcedony colours?

Yes and I love that it adds another dimension to my stock of COE 96 stained glass. Can you imagine how many black beads I could get from the sheet , (still 3ft x 2 ft after I've used some) of black fusible I still have together with lots of other coloured bits. As to why I have so much black, It was for putting black borders around my circular pot melts.

Hi folks...here's what I made yesterday with the 96 glass...I used some intense black stringer which I thought might web, but it just made the whole thing rather dark...in fact I threw just about every glass Sue sent me at them, plus some reichenback 94 stringers, so the effect is rather messy and didn't really give the chalcedony a chance to bloom! In fact it remained obstinately brown in some places, and I had trouble with the white devitrifying as I got it so hot.

Ah well, less is more, and I'll have another go some time soon.

Deff keep going with it.  I found it so fustrating at time but once in a blue moon it goes really pretty.  Those beads I made that I managed to get Chalcedony to work are like little gold wonders to me.  lol

Pat, I know you don't like Bullseye for sculptural work, but I have tons of flat glassBullseye. Looking forward to getting all my glass in one place next year. Instead of all over the place

I like 96 gaffer too, plays nice     

[Pat from Canvey]

Ah but I love the colours in those Pris. Each to his own Hey.

Wowee!  There is a whole new world of glass out there I haven't had a go at yet!  So much choice....so little time!
