Description:
Moretti Orange Filigrana rods are soft glass color rods made with a filigrana construction, where an orange base glass is combined with fine white striping that runs the full length of the rod. This style of rod is chosen when you want built-in pattern that stays consistent from bead to bead, especially for classic twist designs, lined wraps, and decorative overlays. The orange color reads bright and warm in the flame, and the white filigrana lines give you crisp contrast that remains visible as you shape, stretch, and encase the glass.
How it is used:
- Heat the rod end in a neutral flame and wind onto a mandrel to create beads with instant striped pattern.
- Twist the rod as it warms to tighten the spiral line effect before applying it to your work.
- Wrap over a base bead as a decorative layer, then gently marver to smooth while keeping the striping clean.
- Pull into stringer for finer lined detail, then trail it for scrollwork, borders, and accents.
- Encase with clear soft glass to add depth and visually magnify the filigrana striping.
