Looking for Curdled Ivory
Hi everyone, I was just at Frantzartglass.com and they are sold out of the newest batch of dark ivory pastel (nicknamed curdled ivory)! Does anyone know another store I can get this from? Thanks in advance

Glasscraft had some a few weeks ago. That is if Mary Beth didn't go back and finish cleaning them out!

SOLD OUT! Thank You!
I haven't changed the name or anything on my website, but I've been told that the batch of dark ivory I have in stock is in fact "curdled"

Yah I thought I would get as much as I could at one time! I might have to go back for more very soon. I have to say Donna will be getting my business alot more because of this latest purchase. I saved 20% by ordering that much, yippee that made my day! MaryBeth I bet you have quite the glass stash! I am so jealous

Curdled Ivory?
Who has purchased the Curdled Ivory and know how it reacts . I don't want to sell it as Curdled Ivory if it isn't. I know the production dates are different than what Mike F. stated.03/03/08
Mine are 31/03/08 and02/06/08 both look.

Bill, if this helps, the rods look a bit rougher, more variegated on the ends and through the rods itself, it's not a consistent color on the outside of the rod either, like the older dark ivory used to be. It webs out easily for a more organic look when melted and reacts beautifully with silver.

I was also told to look for a white "half moon" shape at the ends at the edge and it runs down the length of the rod. All the dark ivory I've received is from the last month or two, so I'm almost positive that with the "half moon" and from when I received it, the stuff I had is "curdled" ivory. The way Nikki describes it, is just like what I had. Didn't even get to try it

I would like to keep this thread up so we can compare the different batches by date.Just like Bill is talking about . When my order comes in I will play with it and let everyone know. I do remember a really bumpy rough rod set in June of this year from Frantz and I loved it. It had a half moon pattern, loved very little silver, and laced well with intense black. Please post pics of beads from different batches of drk ivory glass rods and the date and place you purchased. Thanks in advance, Lili

I looked at the end of the rods I just got from Frantz and there is a white spot close to the edge of the rod and it is roughly diamond/half moon shaped - and the rod is a little rough.

And when you make a bead the ivory has a lot of sparkles in it, you can see it very well holding the bead close to the flame while making it.

It's not called Curdled Ivory - it's just Effetre Dark Ivory and it's the current batch. If he has gotten ivory from Frantz recently, it is the curdled stuff. You might want to ask him when he got his stock.

We discussed and he didn't think his was the curdled stuff.

well, I ordered some from LB Supplys figuring it would be the same as what Frantz has and it looks the same to me and the rods are rougher than the older ivory I have, but it is possible it's not the same I suppose. It will be hard to tell without using it to see if I can see the sparkle, but it is sooooo cold here and I may not be able to torch for a few days.

Here are pics
this is the bundle I got from France:
This is what I got from LBSupplys:
The ends on the frantz bundle are cleaner and easier to see the ends well, but they look pretty similar. The LBS bundle perhaps has more darker color on the ends.
Anyhoo, I thought I would post it. I will try to make a couple of beads with it to see how it looks.
