Gaffer Royal Purple and Purple Rose
::Newsflash:: You might want to place an order with Gaffer!
I just got off the phone with Jessie, one of the Gaffer Girls~ she's SO SWEET and she asked if I'd like to test one of their new colors called Royal Purple.
It works up like Chalcedony but doesn't like the cold tools because they mute the colors. She said it looks like fuschia resembling z-99 but a little transparent.
They don't have any for sale yet but have enough to include a single cane as a gift if we call them back with the results.
::AND:: There's another color coming called Purple Rose that they don't have in stock yet even to test.

Scotty Parrish has some pictures of the G-199 Purple Rose up on his facebook too; they must have put a ton of gold/silver in this color for that reaction!

A Promised Picture
I hadn't had a chance to fully open my box until the weekend and was thrilled to find they had gifted me with a rod of both colors and I have never worked with a glass that was so fun!
I've been silver foiling everything in sight lately, so sadly covered up some of the beautiful color and made it look rust on a couple of the beads. But, it plays really nice on top of silver.
It's so easy to make the reactions, just wave either color around the air a little. Even the blue-ish toned Purple Rose will get hints of that beautiful raspberry.
The one on the far left is Purple Rose w/silver leaf and Purple Rose dots. It didn't turn all rust. It looks really elegant.

So many beautiful purple and pink glass discussion threads going on. I need to get me some of this glass and practice these techniques.

I didn't do it! lol!
I don't see anything wrong with bringing positive threads back up again. Why not?? It's better than re-hashing old negative crap lthreads like they have been doing in the Bathroom lately.
