Pros
The mold is smooth and the dish is a nice size.
Cons
The dish wables because there isn't any kind of a flat bottom in the mold.

Pros
The intricate mottling in this glass creates a beautiful sense of depth and sparkle. I’ve used it often in borders, backgrounds, and floral work, where its texture truly shines. The mottles mimic the effect of dappled sunlight on flower petals, adding life and movement to each piece. While the glass may seem white at first glance, it comes alive when illuminated—its subtle variations glowing with a quiet, vibrant energy.

Pros
This glass is truly stunning, with its dappled honey-colored mottling adding a warm, inviting texture. I recently used it to evoke the look and feel of a grass-filled valley in a landscape window. The mottling beautifully mimics sunlight dancing across a green backdrop, while its rich tones bring remarkable depth and dimension to the scene.

Pros
This glass is truly exceptional. Its rich color combinations evoke a timeless, old-world charm. I recently used it to represent sky and vegetation, and the effect was stunning. The mottled texture creates beautiful dapples of light that shift with the ambient lighting, adding depth and movement. It’s a type of glass that truly glows from within, bringing any piece to life.

Pros
The purples are clear, the blues and whites are opaque and there's adventurine sparkles swirled throughout
Cons
Like most very swirly glass, it's a bit hard to cut, as even the "smooth side" is a bit irregular.
Also, at one of my sheets (out of 4)had a chunk of ceramic type material embedded in the top of the sheet, but at least it was near the edge so the whole square foot isn't a bust
Other Thoughts
It's a mix of clears and opaques with a lot of sparkle from the adventurine, the colors stay true when firing and while they are very dark, the do make for a nice conversation piece.
Pros
Shelf paper is faster to use than kiln wash.
You can cut large rolls to fit your shelf or slump form and use just what you need as you need it and not waste any.
Cons
Forget the reviews from years ago saying it lasts multiple firings, Now it doesn't even work for a single run without flaking and getting fibers stuck in my larger pieces. Smaller globs and dots will rip the paper just from the glass edges moving to ball stage. Even small and medium pieces without fibers stuck to them end up with very rough and uneven backs,
On top of, I have to test another shelf paper brand to be sure, but I've been seeing a LOT more devitrification, esp in the opaque glasses and I'm afraid it's the papyros off gassing and triggering it.
Other Thoughts
When I first got my kiln, it was second hand and came with Papyros sheets that had been pre-cut to fit that shelf, I could use those 2 or even up to 4 times if I was very careful. When I started running low, my local store only carried bullseye so I bought that, and it was nice, but expensive so when they closed I figured it'd make sense to buy a nice big roll of cheaper Papyros that I could cut to the correct size, save $$ and not have weird random sheet edges left over. I cut several pieces for my kiln so they could relax, as it was VERY stiff and the roll is so big that my workshop doesn't have space to leave it out.
I calculated I could get 66+ sheets and figured that would be around 100 to 150 firings, but after I used it, I almost can't stand that it will take 66 firings to use up, and if it is the de-vit cause, I will have to toss the whole thing.
I made the mistake of buying in bulk to save money and now it may all be a waste. :(
