Anyone know of a UK supplier for this. I had one batch that I loved, but haven't been able to find it since.

(sorry I had put the wrong name up originally!)

Even better if anyone knows a supplier who'll be at flameoff!

I had a look for you as I thought I had some, but I only had one Rod, which wont get you far!!

Purple Cobwebs

Thank you everyone. No it's not ocean. I bought some of that hoping that it would be similar, but I wasn't nearly as keen on it.
Thanks for looking Helen.
I'm now thinking of doing an order from Franz glass. Anyone know how long it takes to get here from Franz, and what the shipping/customs charges are like?
I've got a bit of a bee in my bonnet about getting my mitts on more of this  :D

I'm sure I had some of this and really liked it, I think its a special isn't it, but it was ages ago I had it and as usual haven't a clue where from though!  :)

Purple Cobwebs

Yes Jammie, I didn't realise it was a special at the time or I'd have stocked up! I originally bought from Tuffers.
Found a 1/3rd rod in my shorts box today, but that seems to be it from my stash :-(

You could just try binding 2 or 3 rods together to get a similar effect. I use a rubber band and try to melt them at roughly the same rate whilst wrapping very quickly to spread the colours through.

She's made of real glass. She got real real emotion. But my heart laughs I have that same sweet devotion!

Purple Cobwebs

Ooh, I like that idea Kaz! Will try it with some other colours.

I did however manage to get 4 bundles of this at flameoff!  ;D Well chuffed! Thanks to Special Kay for pointing it out to me, hiding in the corner of a table full of glass.

I noticed it as well when I was poking about in that corner mainly because I had seen your post asking about it. Glad you found it as I couldn't remember who it was that wanted it  ;D
So much glass... so little time!
