Crinkle Dichro?
Curious as to whether anyone has used the crinkle dichro in any boro work. I have and have failed to make any sense or use of it. I approached it like "normal" dichro and it did not look very good. "Course, I usually twist dichro into a frenzy and vortex for marbles or background pendents with it. Seems more suited to beads or fusing. Any opinions?

I've been using the crinkle dichro (from CBS) since early this year. I've used it in galaxy marbles. Rather than the very fine "break up" of the dichro in the galaxy, it breaks up into more glitter sized pieces. I like it a lot and have mixed both regular and crinkle together in the same marble -- very nice effect! I do pass it through the torch first to "crystalize" or "crinkle-ize" it, but overall I have been very happy with the results.
This is what my marbles look like when I only use crinkle: http://tinyurl.com/lz497u

Twisting crinkle up is a waste of crinkle.....It looks sweet if you lay a flat little square on the back of a pendant...for the backing
of course just my two cents
