Item Name: Moretti Effetre Filigrana - Periwinkle - 5mm - 6mm SKU: 1557210 Description: Moretti Periwinkle Filigrana is a soft glass color rod made with a filigrana construction th at builds fine linear patterning into the glass. The periwinkle tone sits between lavender and blue, giving you a cool, clean color that reads well in both opaque-heavy designs and transparent layered work. Filigrana rod is chosen when you want the internal striping to do the visual work for you, because the pattern stays present as the glass is melted, twisted, stretched, and pulled down into cane or stringer. It is especially useful for beads, small sculptural elements, and decorative wraps where you want consistent line definition without needing complex surface decoration. How it is used: Heat the rod end in a neutral flame and wind onto a mandrel to make beads with built-in line movement. Twist the rod while warm to tighten the filigrana pattern, then use it as a wrap or gather for patterned bead bodies. Pull into stringer for fine lined trailing, borders, and scrollwork that keeps a striped look even at small scale. Use as an overlay on a base bead and marver smooth to keep the surface clean while preserving the internal pattern. Encase with clear soft glass to add depth and give the filigrana lines a layered, dimensional look. Dimensions: Rod diameter: 5mm – 6mm Show more
