Running on Rainbows ๐
I created this spacey pin during production of the Bonus Lesson of my Fusing Fundamentals series to show how I was personally inspired by a unique trait of dichroic glass. I noticed that the rainbow coating on some dichroic noodles ends in striated bands of color, which instantly made me picture something fiery igniting its way through the darkness of space.
I really enjoy how the details of dichroic glass are so out-of-this-world that their interpretation can vary wildly from artist to artistโIโm sure if Iโd given these noodle ends to 100 different glassworkers, Iโd have gotten back 100 completely unique projects!
Iโm also interested in how this glass appears smooth and shiny before itโs fired, but can take on a rougher, more glittery appearance after firing, depending on the firing setup and schedule (see photo 4 for this glass prior to firing).
