Default What are your absolute FAVORITE effetre colors?

I've started to compile a list for when I can buy more than 1/4 lb of glass... So, suggestions? Other brands are welcome too, & the longer the list, the better! I want to start a stockpile once I win the lottery... (LOL like that will ever happen...)

Stoneground is CIM. It would be Opal Yellow in Effetre. Does pretty much the same thing.

Raku is Reichenbach.

Effetre Super clear - pickled.

I'll see if I can dig the order up..


Ok. Dug the order up.
Seems it turns out it's 'Light Red Roof Tile' here:
http://www.chrisfisherart.com/Morett...0Chart%202.htm

Although I've just discovered by googling, that the Red Copper Brown' (from a supplier that no longer exists) that I have, is discussed briefly here:
http://glassbeadmakers.net/forum/vie...php?f=2&t=3505

Whaddya know

This is what I've done with it:
