Alley Cat is one of the most popular opaque oranges we ever produced.
A nice orange color that looks creamy encased with clear. Great for bird beaks. – Suzanne Cancilla-Fox

"This is a beautiful color that is a cross between sunset orange and apricot in its hues. Works tremendously well both solo as well as with being mixed with other colours. My findings were when used on its own it gave a rich apricot hue which you can blush with repeated heat. A fuss free colour that comes with diversity within its range of hues."

"For this pumpkin, I used Alley Cat, which is a more ocher-toned orange, that tends to be more muted. This makes a more organic looking pumpkin that is perfect for autumn and Thanksgiving themed jewelry." Check out Kandice's tutorial Making Storybook Pumpkin Beads. |

"Where the silver touched the bead there is a strong reaction which looks almost bronzish in places and the silver seems to fume areas of Alley Cat adjacent to the silver giving a deeper shade." Read more at Kitzbitz Art Glass' blog. |
