:waving: Hi, All.

So quite a while back I got in on this great deal of getting all these silver glass shorts from precision glass. What Fun!, I thought.

Well now I know some are reducing and others striking, but other than Psyche, I really don't know what to expect or how to get all that great stuff out of it. I'd like to know what I have but can't ID it.

I've checked all the sites and they all show what it's supposed to look like AFTER it's worked not before.

Can anyone tell me what these different glasses look like BEFORE they're worked??[-o<

Thanks in advance!!!

Confused,
Elyart

This post by Hayley has been very helpful to me as a starting point.

Thanks! I'll start sorting and "labeling". I'll see if I can get anything out of these...

Also, I've see a lot of beads with the newest silver glasses but are there any folks that have pix of beads they've made from these shorts? I'd like to see what you've done with these colors.... Matisse, Kandinsky, Miro, VanGogh, Chagall, Rembrandt, etc....

Thanks!!

Can you post a photo? Van Gogh is caramelc colored and strikes, Chagall is dark blue, Rembrant is green, Kandinsky is an almost black blue, all of these reduce. Not sure about Matisse. Picasso is similar to Chagall, Sasha's Silver can range from greenish to brown in the rod (not backlit), both reduce, DaVinci2 looks like SS, sort of green-blue (not backlit) and has concentric rings, and strikes. Hope this helps!
