Say Goodbye to Bullseye Ring Mottle Glass

Posted on March 8th, 2007 in GlassTips, Stained Glass Announcements by Gwen

I may be the last to know, but I thought I’d mention that Bullseye has decided to discontinue their beautiful ring mottle glass this year.

Apparently, they are doing this because the ring mottle glass is not fusible. It looks like they are tailoring their product line for hot glass enthusiasts, and doing away with glass that can only be used for stained glass art.

It is such a shame that we will no longer have this beautiful glass. Bullseye Ring Mottle is the perfect glass for frogs and other amphibians. It also looks great for butterflies, plants, and other natural creatures and settings.

I will prize it more now, and I will look carefully for the perfect project. (I will also try to have some left over.)

If you have already made a project with ring mottle, you may want to buy some matching glass now while it is still available. If you ever need to make a repair it will be tough to match it in the future.

I am very disappointed. Hopefully, one of the other glass manufacturers will step in to fill this void.
