An opal light sky blue.




"Thunder Egg with Z671 Mirror Blue frit. There is something so unpredictable about the colour changing properties of this pretty blue grey opal glass. At first I thought it might be down to flame chemistry but I was careful to keep the flame neutral in the making of these beads. I suspect that the deeper grey beads are ones that have been worked longer in the flame but I will need to do some more testing to be absolutely sure but I really like it."

"Well - whaddya know? There is, in fact, almost no trace of the opal sky blue, and it is pretty thoroughly Mink coloured. . . . Wow - flat out one of the most completely unexpected colour changes I've ever had." Read more at DragonJools blog.

"This dark and brooding set was created on Thunder Egg, a blue opal glass that strikes in variations of grey to mink hues." See more at Darlene's blog.

"Thunder Egg rods are a pale blue opal but it struck like MINK! It has a few more 'blushes' of either a whiteish color or maybe it's that pale blue on the surface of the Mink base."
