Item Name:
Moretti Effetre Rod - Transparent Lavender Blue - 5mm - 6mm
SKU:
1556082
Description:
This is a transparent Effetre glass rod in the Lavender Blue color, made in the classic Moretti style soft glass used for beadmaking and general lampworking. It is manufactured as straight rod stock so you can introduce the end into a torch flame, form a controlled molten gather, and apply glass cleanly to a mandrel or to other hot components. This particular transparent lavender blue is a useful color when you want a cool, airy purple-blue tone that still allows light to pass through, making it a strong choice for layered color work, casing, and designs where depth and internal glow matter.
How it is used:
- Warm the rod slowly in the outer flame, then bring the working end up to a smooth gather to prevent shocking and maintain clarity.
- Wind onto a prepared mandrel to create transparent lavender blue base beads with depth and a clean, luminous look.
- Use as a casing layer over opaques or reactive colors to soften contrast and add visual depth while keeping underlying shapes readable.
- Pull stringer from a small gather for fine line decoration, scrollwork, and delicate transparent overlays on beads and small sculptural elements.
