Borosilicate Glass Beads - Wysteria Haze

Description

Boro beads... a sweet lavender base with a rich, earthy stripe that dances down the surface.

Set of 7

Average 13mm by 9mm...

All glass is shaped in the flame of a Bethlehem Barracuda surface mix torch which runs off tanked oxygen and propane. The glass goodies are then placed in a Paragon digitally controlled kiln and annealed overnight for strength, durability and color saturation. Most boro used in my studio has a high silver content which reacts with the flame chemistry (oxygen to propane mix proportions) and will continue to react in the atmosphere of the kiln. When a piece comes out of the flame it is not always the mix of color it will be when it comes out of the kiln. Each piece is responsible for me losing a little bit of sleep as I lay in bed thinking about how it will look when it comes out in the morning!

Pictures are taken on a table next to a window with natural light coming through. Borosilicate glass art tends to look darker indoors. No color editing or altering is done to this photo.
