Gypsy Ltd Run (511613)<br />An extremely dark transparent purple.

An extremely dark transparent purple.


"Gypsy is a dark, ink purple. Initial observation led me to assume the glass was a transparent black, boy was I wrong! Pulling stringers revealed the true dark violet color. The transparent stringers flowed nicely into an abstract 'cloud' shape in the vessel, retaining the crisp, clean line without distortion." – Heather Sellers

"Gypsy is a very dense color mostly good for stringers. I thinly encased a clear bead with it and it was pretty." – Gloria Sevey

"Use as dots, in stringer, over clear, wherever you need a deep, intense colour that can stand to be diluted a lot." Read more at DragonJools blog.

"I've fallen for Gypsy in a big way, it's a deep and rich super saturated purple transparent. . . . On a few of these beads where I have added swipes of glass straight from the rod of Gypsy the colour is so deep and intense that it looks like neat Vimto!" Read more at Kitzbitz Art Glass' blog.
