Holy crap!! I'm dying here.
Heehee....Thanks Kandice! These were fun....and Hubby thinks the color is "sexy"....LOL!
It *IS*. I want a silky nightgown in those colors - and a long necklace with those beads! Hubba HUBBA!
Hi Susan,
The copper ruby I used is Reichenbach "Opaque" Copper Ruby, not the transparent version. As far as I know, it's only available in frit form. I pull stringers from it by dipping a red hot 1/8" mandrel in a pile of it until I have a gather big enough to pull from. I got 1/2 kilo from Olympic Color Rods last year and I'm going through it like wildfire.
Hmmm - I think it's the same thing I have. The thin copper ruby cane I have is opaque. My LBS owner, also a beadmaker, has some secret sources for a lot of things - she's seriously addicted and always off to classes, glass factories, etc. But I will also track down the frit as well. Thanks for the info!! And again, what a gorgeous set of beads.
Susan
