I was working with green glass yesterday. I have no idea what manufacturere is, it came in a box of glass i bought of craigs list before i even had a torch.
The rod was a lovely kelly green - started making the bead and
the bead started getting bright orange streaks all in it.
so I started thinking...
ok - they use copper to color glass green right?
so what in the world have i done to make the copper come out of the glass??
It wasnt a bad effect at all, really quite pretty in ANOTHER bead, NOT the one i was working on. Im working on a grrrr fireworks bead torch
HH on order!!
so did i just get the glass too hot? i can see this being lovely on something else, but i need my green to stay green.
any ideas?
