Reichenbach antique clear/antique green?

[Fruddy]

Who started this thread. I need to know who to blame as I've just pressed the paypal button too. Been looking for some decent violet as am going through a purple, violet phase. Must be my age.

Ditto Pat on all counts!!

I have bought all sorts of purples and violets recently but they haven't been exactly what I wanted.... those Richenbach violets of Sams just had me drooling!

I'm hoping that wasn't the old Iris Violet.  As lovely as that one looks on the rod it does have a tendancy to turn brown in the kiln in a non reduction type of way.

My Aunty did like her all the purples of glass collection necklace that I made her for her birthday and a lot of those were rech purples

Really BAD LADY I don't need you to show pics of etched. I will have to hide the etching stuff down my pants otherwise to hide it when it arrives !!

Not that one I think but if it does turn brown, I have some charcoal granules bought from a pet shop (and normally used for fish tanks I think). I may be wrong but I think that if you put some in a pot in the kiln it changes the atmosphere to a reducing one by absorbing some of the oxygen. That is if the door of the kiln is shut tight and the bung hole shut. Anyone any other thoughts?

I am sceptical that that will work.  I have had two out that haven't gone funny and they were in the same environment as two that did.

Let me know how it goes though.

I agree, this was really not helpful at all.  I have had to hide my purse so I can't use my card, and these sorts of pictures are just torture!

[Trudi]

sooooooooooo pretty though!

[Krysia@No98]

So very very pretty Trudi

Sorry*Runs away and hides*
Wasn't me who bumped it though.

I have to admit to a spending spree too, but not glass for once! My torching stuff is still put away till studio space gets sorted.
I been on the Seasalt website. Haven't bought myself any new clothes all year! Now I will have something nice to wear on Christmas day. Something that doesn't have little scorch marks all down the front.
