"Firecracker is an opaque dark cherry red that I have tested in the past with silver glass and it really sings! For this test, I used Midnight Shards and the blue/ silvered ivory against the rich red is really pretty. My only observation was that Firecracker was a bit shocky with a few small air bubbles in the rod." Read more at Darlene's blog.

“I started with two beads of solid Firecracker for the ends, and then in-filled with clear, and encased the clear with more Firecracker. You can see the spiral of cloudiness from laying down the Firecracker and melting it in.” Read more at DragonJools blog.

"I'm finding Firecracker easy to strike and great for making petal canes for summer floral beads. For this set I made a petal cane with a core of CiM Peace and a thin encasing layer of Firecracker." Read more at Kitzbitz Art Glass' blog.

"Firecracker is a medium light red with orange tones – you can see that the end spacer is less struck and much more orange." Read more at Heather Kelly's blog.

"Firecracker is a transparent red - ranging from amber through orange to red, depending on the degree of striking. It does tend to develop cloudiness as it is worked, but it is a delicious and juicy colour with no hint of liveriness [brown-ness]." Read more at DragonJools blog.
