I piched this pic from Dwyns Blog Dragon Jools passion in glass. http://dragonjools.blogspot.com/search?q=molds

She reviews a handful of the molds we stock and provides wondeful working tips and pictures to help anyone who may be interested.

In this photo she uses Reichenbach glass. This is one of my personal faves. Dark Multi. Can you beleive this starts out life a dark brown colour? Keep your eyes peeled on this blog for future posts on this colour range!
