Double Amber Purple Rod - Northstar

My favorite A/P! The rods are bubble free (in my experience), and I find just a regular kiln cycle at normal annealing temp brings out great colours! A little flame striking before it's put away can also add some variations.

This color is very nice. To the beginners. This color takes some practice, but once you have learned how to use it, the possiablitys are endless. The variations of color with different fuel/oxygen mixtures can create an entire new style of glass work for you.

This is one of my favorite colors bar none!!! nice saturated amber purple color that doesn't boil and melts like butter...super easy to flame strike and hardly ever needs more then 1 kiln cycle I can't keep enough of this in my shop

I love this one. Great end result, really easy to work with. Just beautiful!

This is bar non my favorite colors. I prefer colors with a lot of stability and non boily tendencies, and this color is it! Like the same suggests, colors from dark amber to swirling purples can be achieved. A rod of this color is always on my rod rest, and is the one I grab the most often for dots and accents.

I’m very new to working with glass, but amber purple and double amber purple have been a awesome striking color to work with. Very forgiving in all types of flames and produces a vast verity of colors from rich amber yellows, to crazy transparent blues and purples. I’d highly recommend any new comers to give this a try!

So many beautiful effects from this one color rod. Just play around with the flame chemistry and you'll get all kinds of results.
