I played with my devardi for the first time today. I wasn't very impressed with the opaque salmon. I made 4 beads and finally had to resort to putting a rod in the kiln to finish the set. I'm not a fan of glass that keeps popping off the rod. I wasted almost a whole rod on shocking.
I did however like the transparent rose. I only made one bead with it, but it wasn't shocky.
The beads are in the kiln so I'll let you know if the color is something I can't live without
I've got more colors to try out tomorrow.
