Orange you glad...

I am very excited about a new color release from Bullseye Glass (a local color manufacturer that I buy a lot of my materials from). For a long time I have craved a good translucent orange... I use a lot of the 001125 - which is an orange that reminds me of the Crayola crayon "Orange Red", but what I desire is a more fruit like balance between red and yellow - a good tangerine.

Well now Bullseye has it! Yeah!

I am thinking about a whole line of orange with red-orange and some deep blue, like a transparent steel blue, almost navy... yum.
