Item Name:
Moretti Amethyst Dark Transparent Effetre Glass Stringer (2-3mm)
SKU:
1558044
Description:
This is a thin glass stringer made from transparent dark amethyst Effetre glass in 104 COE, with a diameter of 2-3mm. Stringers are thin rods of glass that are used to apply fine lines, details, and precise color work to beads and other glass pieces. The dark amethyst color provides a rich purple hue that remains transparent, making it ideal for creating depth in layered designs and adding sophisticated detail work. Stringers are pulled from larger rods and are commonly used in lampworking when you need controlled, fine-line applications without the bulk of a full-sized rod.
How it is used:
- Heat the stringer gently in the flame until it becomes workable, then apply it to warm glass to create thin lines and decorative details.
- Use for outlining, striping, and adding fine color accents to beads and sculptural forms.
- Layer multiple passes of stringer over a base color to build depth and create complex patterns.
- Combine with other colors and techniques to achieve intricate surface designs on both solid and transparent base glasses.
