yeah. exactly.

i'm not sure i totally understand the hoarding concept.....i guess at that point its more of an investment. i think collectively i own 30 pounds of glass at a time.

I could explain hoarding to you Ali, but..... no need to add to my competition

Just know if you are ever desperate for a glass, you can probably turn to me, lol.

Here is what it looks like with light shinning through *swoon*

I think I already have 25-30 lbs of it too, maybe more! I just love that color and I haven't made any beads with it yet!!! I'm also sitting in my hands!!

I am jotting this down in my little glass notebook right now for when the time comes ...

OK who wants to sell (or trade) me a lb. of this pretty glass?

how much of this is exaggeration, how much of this is not knowing how much a pound really looks like, and how much of this is straight up hoarding goodness????

It's hoarding for me, plain and simple. I'm well aware I can get over 600 flower discs from my 5 pounds, yet it doesn't sound like enough. I do however, have a self imposed 5 lb limit unless it really is a necessity. Like the butter pecan for my mermaids. I have 15 lbs of that

And I still can only get about 700 mermaids out of it..... kind of nervous, lol. I think I made about 500 mermaids last year.

Hell's Bells. Now I want some. I have a transparent Lauscha coral, but I don't believe it has striations.

This is bad, but the question I ask myself before I buy more than a lb. of anything is whether I could sell it for (at least) what I bought it for. If I can, that relieves the hoarders guilt.

SuzyQ · #45 2012-05-17, 9:37am

Chris, it only gets those from the restriking I do when making those discs. I made spacers and they don't have them.
