so if i work bulleseye it all has to be bullseye, yes?  what pinks are nice in the bullseye then

[awrylemming]

All of them.  There isn't one bad pink in Bullseye.  The ones I'd definitely go for first though, are the petal pink opaque and the cranberry sapphirine, both stunning colours.  Mmmmmm, now I feel like a Bullseye day    And I've had no problems confusing coe's, the rods are very different initially from Effetre, they're much longer and more even.  And once you get used to the colours you can generally distinguish between them all, even the clear once you start melting it!  Oh, and their turquoises are so much nicer than effetre, no yucky bubbling, their cyan is gorgeous.  Although I think Warm Glass is out of that one.

Ummmm Sapphire, Cyan....Bullseye...ummm..actually their yellows are a bit yummy too

so the whole bead would have to be bullseye cos its 96 isent it

[Kalorlo]

Bullseye's coe 90. Yeah, the whole bead has to be Bullseye. (96 roughly are the furnace colours and frits).

I can feel some tools coming on, i haven't got a masher, or a pokey thingy, (i use the end of a mandrel) and i'd love one of those ridged marvers to make barley sugars on

Jillie, no tempting me with tool lust, ive been really good lately, but I have been reading about all the double helix glasses and I sooo want some, but, have read lots of mixed feedback from those who have tried it on a hothead, but hell if I don't give it a go I'll never know will I ?

[Jo]

The one I have works ok I will check what it is, Jill go on warm glass they have 30% off tools aswell

[jille]

Lisa i bought some double helix, I've had hit and miss results in my hothead I still can't get the hang of faux boro which is what I'd like to do, but if i swirl on a bit of dh on a bead then flash it through the flame it usually works.

I'll have a look and see how much i can afford to spend. I have been good lately. I'm pleaded to hear about turquoise and pink bullseye, i seem to have bought all the duff effetre, especially turquoise, and coral

[LisaQuinn]

I'll definitely be ordering some then Jillie, been experimenting with glass all last week, with very mixed results ,  so will give the dh a bash and see how it goes! Note to self...quick flash, thanks x
