Posted on 10:24pm Sunday 28th Apr 2013

More exciting news - Beadbug are also going to be the stockist of Cheeky Frit Blends. Cheeky frits are finer frit blends that have been lovingly designed by Kaz Kebab. Cheeky frit blends are expected to arrive by the end of this week and will be listed on the website as soon as they arrive.

Uroboros - System 96

Posted on 10:18pm Sunday 28th Apr 2013

Beadbug are going to become the UK/European Uroboros - System 96 rod supplier. Uroboros rods, stringers and noodles in CoE 96, and also some Uroboros clear in CoE 104 are on their way. Not sure how long they will take to arrive as they are coming from the US and because it is a heavy shipment it is coming by ocean freight. We will let you all know the EDD as soon as we know.

We at Beadbug feel that the addition of Uroboros - System 96 rods is fantastic as they are compatible with Gaffer CoE 96, and will also work well with the Reichenbach CoE 94(+/-2), increasing the wonderful colour pallett of the CoE glass that we stock.

Iris Dark Brown RW0106

Posted on 8:07pm Friday 12th Apr 2013

A few sample beads made with Reichenbach Iris Dark Brown RW0106. The picture does not show the colours very well, but I managed to get lovely browns, golds, blues and greens from this glass when using a normal flame. This glass is known as the darker version of Iris Orange (Raku).
