Item Name:
Moretti Effetre Rod - Pastel Dark Pink - 5mm - 6mm
SKU:
1556256
Description:
This is a solid, colored soft glass rod made for flame working and beadmaking. It is produced as consistent rod stock and cut to workable lengths, giving predictable heating and smooth wraps when you are building beads or small soft-glass components. Dark Pink Pastel is a deeper pink tone that is commonly used for floral work, hearts and romantic themes, bold accent layers, and for shading when you want more contrast than a light pastel pink provides. Soft glass rods like this are used when you need stable, repeatable color for winding, pulling stringer, and applying surface decoration in compatible soft-glass lampworking.
How it is used:
- Preheat the rod slowly in the outer flame, then bring it to a working glow to reduce thermal shock.
- Wind molten glass onto a mandrel to create bead bases, then shape with controlled wraps and gentle tool work.
- Pull stringer from the rod for fine lines, scrollwork, and detail accents.
- Use small gathers for dots and spot decoration, then melt in smooth or leave raised for texture and definition.
