[poledra1958]

my stash databse says I have one rod.  will have to look in the shed to see if I still have it

[Calico Cat]

Just got a celadon "Easter Egg" out of the kiln - will take a pic when its been cleaned.

[Blue Box Studio]

I found some!  So will update when/if they come out of the kiln in a presentable fashion.  And to think I was thinking of ordering some .....

I have just almost killed myself with a spitting showering rod of Celadon.

Thank god I've not been the only one with this problem.  I have something in the kiln at the mo too.   It's either going to be fabulous or highly questionable.

[Blue Box Studio]

I assumed it was just me; darn stuff was flying all over the place. Lovely colour though (or was when it went in the kiln).

Um, mine wasn't spitty?  Mind you, I've taken to putting mine on top of the kiln, the glass is so ruddy cold that even the most well behaved glass is being antse 

[Krysia@No98]

(... it's a bit reluctant about coming of the rod...)

I thought the blue in these buttons was celadon, but it's not, the green is. So I've no idea which blue it is, any clues?

But it means the green here is celadon.

is it halogan bay?  Looks more transparent in the rod and goes more opaque the more time it spends in the flame

[awrylemming]

It looks more like chalcedony, it has that opalescent kind of look.

[Krysia@No98]

Oh that's right, It's being 50 miles away from my glass stash it's affecting me BADLY!! 

[Alison G]

Mmmm Halong Bay, I miss it.

Lovely beads Helen.

[Magpie]

That's it, chalcedony, sort of sounds like celadon, starts with the same letter at least Thanks.

[Krysia@No98]

phew back within stretching distance of my stash now.  I do like chalcedony its like looking into a summer sky with little fluffy clouds that are almost not there.

[Krysia@No98]

this is a combination of rods melted together and then pulled out into a new rod to make this bead
