hi Maggie,

you can use any glass you like as long as the coe of your color matches the tubing.

I learned these with soft glass. In the pictures I showed, the long ornament is boro made with momkas american beauty the red and white stripe is bullseye and 90 coe tubing, I use 90 tubing intended for the sign/neon industry and its lead glass

I have some 104 tubing on its way to play with.

all of the items in the tutorial were made using a minor torch. I do not suggest a hot head for the hollow blown items.

Candice
