"The bottom row contains the test beads of each of the nine glasses, the bottom bead of that glass alone, in the middle covered with clear and top on white. The beads on the other mandrel are my typical test beads that I do when I want to know how colorful some translucent glass is as a thin layer. Even though I tried to capture the colors as truthfully as possible, the shades are a little different than what they are in reality. At least on my screen." Read more at Maikki's blog.

“The subtle soft grey lilac in these beads is the Ink Blot. It makes a very pretty petal cane over white . . . the spacers look much darker than in the places where I have used it to make stripes and petals.” Read more at Kitzbitz Art Glass’ blog.

"Ink Blot is a super dense purple violet colour that would lend itself well to twistie making and teeny tiny layered dots over pale opaques." Read more at Kitbitz Art Glass’s blog.

"Ink Blot is a limited run transparent color that is as close to navy blue as I have ever found. Ink Blot looks very saturated in rod form, and if you hold it up to the light, it is a dark purply blue color. However, when melted, worked and annealed, it loses all the purple and a lot of the saturation, and flirts with blue/grey and navy." Read more at Kandice's blog.

"When you first hold this colour to the light, you see the most luscious shade of purple – almost a perfect match to Effetre Ink Blue! A dark and saturated shade of purple/blue that is intense and difficult to recognize as a ‘purple/blue’ unless diluted with clear or layered over white. As the glass cooled the colour shift was obvious turning the once purple beads to a dark ink like blue similar to squid ink and almost licorice in colour."

"This one played tricks on me. In one light, I thought it was a long awaited purple but then in another light, it was gray then....it was something else in the flame. Whatever it is, it worked nicely with my silver colors. [here with TAG Tibet and Fire Lotus]"
