Thank you, I'm going to put that somewhere safe, so I don't lose it. LOL Seriously, did I mention the electrical forcefield that follows me everywhere and how I can crash a computer simply by gazing at it...........
Yes, the transparents are stiff and now I am able to do stringers that I am proud of!!
I just couldn't get over how vibrant the colors are, even colors that are not strong by nature. I was surprised by the light golden smoke, that has been great fun to work with and all the rose colors are stunning. I do use propane, maybe the lower heat is why I'm doing so well with this glass.
I like sculptural pieces, butterflys, animals, flowers and freeform shapes, so the stiffness is a bonus for me. I can do alot more surface decorations and don't have to worry about everything going out of control on me.
