Item Name:
Moretti Effetre Rod - Alabaster Dark Periwinkle - 5mm - 7mm
SKU:
1556364
Description:
This is a solid Effetre and Moretti soft glass color rod in Periwinkle Dark Alabaster, produced as an opaque alabaster formulation and pulled into a rod size suited for beadmaking and small flameworked components. Alabaster colors are valued when you want a softer, more diffused look than a standard opaque, especially for sculptural work, floral forms, and layered designs where you want color to read with a gentle, slightly muted character. In lampworking, rod stock like this is used when you need consistent color delivery for wraps, dots, small gathers, and for pulling stringer to create line work and fine detail.
How it is used:
- Preheat the rod end gradually in the outer flame to reduce thermal shock, then bring it to a workable glow.
- Apply the molten glass as wraps on a mandrel for beads, or place small gathers for dots, petals, and sculptural elements.
- Pull stringer from a small gather to create fine lines, scrolls, and controlled surface decoration.
- Use with compatible Effetre colors and clear for layering and casing when you want a softened, alabaster look in the finished work.
