"Honestly - I can't tell them apart. Maybe Van Dyke [rod and 3 pieces on the left] retains a little more grey vs Safari [rod and 3 pieces on the right]. But functionally - I can't tell them apart. Maybe they work differently in beads. They are beautiful, but they seem interchangeable to me - given their variability." Read more at DragonJools blog.

"I tested it with a sprinkling of Glass Diversions Coffee Bean frit. This created a striated look that reminded me of a giraffe print. The spare tab bead is the true color of Safari with no frit . . .I can definitely see it's potential for animal or exotic prints." Read more at Darlene's blog.

"Safari looks greyish in the rod, and not having looked them up beforehand, I was very surprised that it immediately struck to a light sandy brown! The bead coming out of the kiln is more uniform than it looked going in, but you can still see a darker brown in one corner below." Read more at Heather's blog.

"Safari has more colour in it that the Van Dyke, with a more yellow tone. On working a long time with a lot of heating, cooling and reheating it tended to lose a lot of the variations of colour in it. However when worked quickly, cooled and then spot heated it really sang with a wide variety of colour. The base of the focal and the dots are in Safari and it was reheated and shaped a lot. However the spacer beads were just simply made, cooled and spot heated and you can see the colours pop completely! Overall, Safari is a great colour that is easy to work with."

"It looks fantastic etched- bringing out the different shades."

"Safari had a yellow core in the rod which I hoped would yield some interesting variations in colour and I wasn't disappointed. It behaved well with no spitting; it seems the longer it is worked the paler it becomes. It is a good base for Ekho."

"It's a pretty brown that gives several shades within the same bead ranging from french mustard to warm chocolate brown. The darkest areas show where I have formed facets by pressing the hot glass with a graphite paddle." Read more at Kitzbitz Art Glass' blog.

"Introduce the molten glass to a cold tool or bead roller and a rich honey-blonde color blooms on the surface."
