Anyone still using Bullseye??
It's not as exciting now that they are not making odd lots, but still love their glass. Anyone?

Yes, just today. I was looking for translucent glass and forgot all about the white, pink and yellow Mist! And thanks to you I have a metric crap ton of it.

Mostly for spacers and hollows. It's so pretty just as it is.

I haven't been able to torch in a year and a half - I am hoping to be able to start here soon.

Yup. Loving it, switching between that and 104 as the wind blows.

I hope you get back to it soon! I torched very little for two years while my husband recovered from some health issues. It was like magic when I started again.

Yes, absolutely. I do miss their odd rods.
They come out with odd sheet glass, but it's annoying to have to use that.

Thanks for the eye candy Karen!
Just in time for spring.
Even though I decided to focus on 104, I still have a nice stash of BE rods as well as other forms for fusing.

Thanks you, Roberta. We do need spring, don't we!
I'm hoping to get to the torch this weekend. I have a brand spanking new flat lap grinder just waiting to be used. I just need to make some beads to lap. I think some BE is just the glass to use

I love the BE colors but 2 COE's is enough for me.

I was fondling some bullseye stringers yesterday at Ed Hoys. Their colors are just gorgeous!! I have 96, 104 and bork now. I'm not so sure it would be smart of me to add it in, but it's way tempting.

I bought some colors to try, but haven't done it yet. It sure looks pretty though, so hopefully soon.

Yes! I do wish they would bring back the odd lots. OTOH, it's saving me about $200.00 every other month. I wonder if they lost a lot of regular business because of discontinuing the odd lots.

I don't buy through them anymore. I only did when I bought odd lots. It just easier to make one purchase through one vendor, if possible.
However, I love their website! Talk about eye candy!

Since I have not been torching much, I have pounds of odd lots that I have never even tried. It will take me some time to even try all of them.

I have been thinking strongly about trying out maybe a starters pkg of BE glass. From what I have read on LE it is awesome for scultping with and the colors I have seen are just gorgeous.

Karen--GORGEOUS beads! Love your florals!!
Ingrid-so glad you can torch again! At the moment I'm all into 104 but I am still playing occasionally with Bullseye. Such clean vibrant colors, so fun. I love glass

I use Bullseye sheet glass all the time, as I probably do more fusing than lamp work at the moment.
I'm seriously thinking of switching over from 104 - one I use the pounds and pounds of 104 rods I have. Plus cutting sheet glass into strips makes it work double duty both for the kiln and the torch

I do. I do 104 for a while and then will switch to BE. I especially like it for encasing.
