Description:
Moretti Blue Dark is a transparent Effetre soft glass color sold as pulled rods for lampworking and beadmaking. The glass is formed into straight rods in a consistent working diameter so it can be warmed, gathered, and applied with good control in a torch flame. This color is typically used when you want a deeper transparent blue for wraps and overlays, especially for designs where you want the base color or underlying pattern to show through while still adding strong blue saturation.
How it is used:
- Preheat the rod gradually in the far flame to reduce thermal shock, then bring it up to a working glow.
- Wrap it over an opaque bead or sculptural base to create a transparent color overlay with depth.
- Pull it down into stringer for fine transparent linework, then use those stringers for scrolls, striping, and detail.
- Case over it with clear when you want extra depth and a smooth, durable surface over decoration.
