A new book from by Deanna Griffin Dove, partnering with Marjorie Langston. This is a slender volume that is big on good stuff. Covered are l...

Another odd lot - and this one is truly hard to photograph accurately. The rods themselves have an odd feel - they are frosted and have a li...

I just tried two new bead releases - one from Frantz Art Glass - no name on it but I will get you the name - and the other is called EZ bead...

Here's some colours that are so dark - they really need to be diluted - use over white or clear or pull into stringers - these colours a...

Peace man! This is the White, by CIM. Nice to have a basic white in their line up. A nice opaque pure white. It does do some interesting thi...

Another CIM Unique - this is Elphaba Unique 2 - and not at all like the other Elphabas - which are more of a witchie-poo green. This is a da...

Candy coloured cane with heart shapes! Two new "colours" from CIM - both have a coloured core. The core is Heart-shaped! One is an...

This is the CIM clear - the regular batch, not the odd lot (unique) batch. I have to say, I'm quite impressed so far. While not complete...

Painted Desert is exactly what this looks like - a trip to the sandstone cliffs of the desert. Orange, salmon and grey come from a light gre...

Moon Rock - now THIS I would have called Petrified Wood. The rod is a dark grey, (just behind bead) but the beads are a streaky chestnut col...

Smoke Rings - good name. I was very excited about this glass - especially after all the darned orange stuff. Check out the pic of the rod (...

Ack - Attack of the Condensed Tomato Soup colour! Nine - 9! - new colours from Vetro - odd lots - and all look like failed attempts to make ...

Someone asked me how these are done - I don't believe it's a big secret - but I couldn't find the reference. Make a bead in a li...

From CiM - Creation is Messy - a clear. This one is designated Unique - which usually means that it is an odd lot. Not sure what is odd abou...

A new crop of odd lots from Vetrofond - and there is some fun stuff here, but I have to say - some of the colours - while different in the u...

Goldstone, in flat ribbons, instead of chunks, frit, or stringer, or encased stringer. Goldstone can look stunning in a bead - it can also b...

Is it my imagination - or does glass seem shockier lately? It seems to me, that when I started, only the occasional batch of glass was reall...

Garzoni Giovanna - another of the R4 glasses. This is a COE 104 soft glass - Moretti compatible. A lovely pale peridot green in the rod - it...

DO NOT ENCASE this glass. It just won't take it. I can't speak for the other streaky colours that came out at the same time, but on ...

These three new colours from CIM (Creation Is Messy) came in at the same time, and when laying around in bad light, can look pretty similar....
