mmmmm - these look lovely - I would also be on the interested list!!!

I'd be interested in a rod or two of the seeded glass, how would it be if we put a bulk order in through one of us and sort it out at the next get together? Or is that too complicated?

I love it ! Maybe that could be our collective name.

Lauscha also does tubing I know, but its a pig to find someone stocking it!

TALIZMAN · February 20, 2008, 04:13:02 PM

*rowanberry* · February 20, 2008, 04:16:36 PM

It certainly is!!!!! Imagine how cool a night sky bead would be with that

we'll make up some mixed packs and stick them on the shop.. and i have a fair supply of lauscha tube, thin wall only and about 10-15mm diam?..

*rowanberry* · February 20, 2008, 05:00:33 PM

Any time we need to order by tonight Q to get it in time for the bash on Sunday? I sure want some of that there tubing... both seeded and lauscha...

I've been reading up on soda lime glass tubing today actually, seems that Schott do a range of tubing in 90coe & anneals at 530c (ie compatible with Bullseye) tubing in different diameters and thicknesses and say its suitable for artistic applications & xmas decorations. Its Schott's AR-Glass range.... now to find someone who stocks it in sensible quantities, and at a price I can afford.
