Oh, Elvis is on sale at ABR

[aimee]

I just got an email from ABR that the Elvis line is one sale and that they now have frit, 30% off but you have to put "elvis sale" in the comment box.

The Apricot & Leprechaun look interesting, anyone have any pics?

Now, I'm off to go find some money.

Hmmph....I haven't gotten the email yet. Weird.

I don't know if i have any pics, but I wasn't that thrilled with apricot. It works just fine, but the color is just nothing really special IMHO. The leprechaun is nice. I would also like to see pics of stuff made with the apricot since maybe I am just workking it wrong.

For an independent review of the TAG boro colors, check out the summer issue of Glassline. N8 did a really nice service -- hard testing in lots of applications, including implosions and stick-stacks.

BTW, he found the Leprechaun (the most dense of Trautman's 3 aventurine greens) was the only one that showed any checking in deep implosions. But it performed beautifully in all other applications. The Sphagnum and Blue Sphagnum (both greens) had no checking issues in implosions.

The Apricot is another amber-purple. If you want to still see golden color, try Yellow Elvis. It's also a reactive amber-purple, but light.

I think ABR also has the newest TAG color: Purple Sable. Like a reactive amber-purple, but with a coffee-colored base, and a light aventurine sparkle.

I went looking for that gorgeous Puple Sable and I can't find it there.

eta...oh, it's TAG, I'll go look again...duh....

[menty666]

I looked earlier and didn't see it

That Purple Sable is beautiful. Next sale it will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine. HAHA

[teachertracey]

Thank God. I thought it was me. It's not there.

I think abr had some samples from Paul at the EGS flame off but it wasn't on their site. At least that's the message I took away from the message on GLDG.

[teachertracey]

What a tease. Now I want it...pout, pout.

[Firebrand Beads]

Hmph. I know I sent them some! Winship has it too... and Cornerstone in Eugene, and we have it here at TAG.... but I haven't gotten it listed on the site yet (darn 24 hour days!)
