New Glass from Double Helix Glassworks!

I love love love silver glass! I know I’ve typed those words before. So Double Helix, everyone’s favorite silver glass maker is releasing new glass colors on Saturday, March 26. They’re calling one of them Chloe, a green glass that looks like mother of pearl when it’s worked. They’ve also got a new Aether…Aether 2. Read all about the differences here:

Original Aether was extremely labor intensive which was why it was priced at $60 pound and not available to re-sellers. Aether 2 has solved the production issues so, we’re making it available to re-sellers and lowering the price to $50/pound. It also has an improved viscosity curve. Please, note that Aether 2 and Zephyr are not the same. Aether 2 is a reactive clear and Zephyr is not. Aether 2 will react with silver glasses and it does a better job of holding the luster under encasement. To help distinguish the two clears, Aether 2 will be wrapped in white paper and Zephyr will be wrapped in brown.

And of course pick up some of the other yummy colors while you’re filling your shipping cart. Happy Beading!!
