Item Name: Moretti Periwinkle Pastel Effetre Glass Stringer (2mm - 3mm) SKU: 1558220 Description: Moretti Periwinkle Pastel stringer is a soft glass color rod pulled to a small diameter for fine lampworking applications. This rod is made as a solid cane of Effetre glass in a periwinkle pastel tone, sized so it can be introduced to the flame quickly and used with controlled heat for clean linework and small gathers. It is used in lampworking when you want a consistent pastel periwinkle color for surface decoration, stringer-like detailing, thin wraps, dots, and small sculptural additions on compatible soft glass work. How it is used: Use the tip to draw fine lines, scrollwork, and borders on beads and small components, then lightly melt in to keep edges crisp. Apply thin wraps for banding and color blocking, then smooth with gentle heat to maintain an even pastel layer. Pull it down further in the flame to make finer stringer for hairline detail and delicate overlays. Use small gathers for dots and raised decoration, then shape with a graphite paddle or marver before final melt-in. Dimensions: 2mm - 3mm Diameter
