I like to shop locally for glass. HotBeadBox is good, Got some german glass and frit from Marie-Claude which was good to. Great service and good prices from both.
I go to ebay and buy from there when I want colours that I can't get here. Mainly odd lots from Islandglass and those dichro splinters that JoDel has. Both have great service and no broken glass when shipped to Australia
. I bought dichro locally a few months back from a different Aussie vendor (not mentioning their name because they have other nice things that are reasonably priced) and didn't realise till after that I kinda got ripped. 30 grams (28 grams = 1 oz) sampler for $30.OUCH. Stoopid me bought 2 lots. Thus 2 oz for $60
Won't make that mistake again. I'll get dichro from the USA from now on.
