Cool Know of a great denim blue?

Has anyone found a nice denim blue glass besides the Lauscha, that is readily available? Any coe - 104, 90, 96 is fine - just need a great denim color, preferably a medium to darker color. Thanks!!

Frantz still has some of the CIM Blue Steel, but it's in the Fun House, limited to 1/4lb per order. If you can find it somewhere else, I think it's exactly what you're looking for

I like Uroboros 96 Alpine Blue for a light-medium denim color.

Gaffer makes a nice denim blue pastel. Ornela makes a transparent Montana blue that I think Art Glass East has plans to carry soon.

There's an Effetre Streaky Denim but I haven't tried it.

Anyone have a denim (gaffer) hollow pix? I'd like to see how dark it is before committing to yet another glass delivery....personally, I like Czech denim (#233032). The next number up is a darker, bluer version which is also nice. (#233032) ombos.net has them in their ornela line

These aren't hollow but are Gaffer denim etched. I love the color.

Oh, I like that! I would complement nicely these czech denim hollows:


this is the mountain sapphire (i.e., the next darker color)

Love the Gaffer denim blue - exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks everyone, a local glassy friend of mine has offered a rod for me to try (thanks Anita!).

Encased striking glasses can produce wonderful shades of denim blue, I made these 5 years ago and still love to wear them with jeans!
