Sys 96 in "Sea Glass" color?

Post by aeshep »

So I'm using System 96 glass and they do a brilliant job of making crystal clear glass. But due to some of my initial works, which have the look of old factory window glass (no, not broken and dirty ;-) but with that certain tint), now I'm being asked frequently for "Sea Glass". Well, those were made from "art" glass from my local Hobby Lobby. Hey, you gotta start somewhere. Anyway, I have clarified with those asking and from I can ascertain they are referring to a slightly blue/green tint (which I think looks similar to old Coca-Cola bottles). I've looked at Spectrum's S96 line with no luck. Am I missing something? Any suggestions?

If you need to stay with 96, go check out Uroboros. Citron or Ming Green might work for that

Here is System 96's color chart:

Sea green might work.

Darn it, I placed my order for samples last night but didn't get that one.
Next time, then!
Thank you.

Thanks. That is gorgeous casting glass! But I haven't gotten into that aspect of kiln work just yet. Hope springs eternal!

Just pointing it out to you for color. That color chart always fall flat to me. I prefer photos. Granted it depends on your monitor, etc.

Yessir, I thought as much and appreciate your help. (The glacier blue is (according to my monitor) very elegant.)
Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without this forum and everyone's help. It is an isolating activity.
Best and I hope to connect again!
