Messy Tester's Feedback

  • Mermaid is unique to the 104 glass color palette.
"Mermaid is the perfect color teal that I've been looking for. I've used the Vetro odd Ocean Green in the past, but not only is it really hard to get, but it boils/sparks/bubbles very easily.  Mermaid will eventually start to spark after lots of working, but it's really lovely glass to work with, and the color after working is a lovely teal blue." – Carol Oliver
"Mermaid looks like a cross between Petroleum Green and Dark Turquoise. This color has received the strongest positive response from most beadmakers and rightly so because it is beautiful and fills an empty place in the present glass color palette."

"Mermaid is a teal that does not duplicate any of the Effetre/Vetro colours. Mermaid falls between Dark Turquoise - being just a little greener, and not quite as green as Petroleum Green." Read more at DragonJools blog.
