One last piece to share before the holidays and a break until the new year. Here's a simple dichroic fused glass pendant. I was thinking of an old mirror, in which the silvering is slowly rubbing away from the metallic backing. To achieve this look, once the piece was out of the kiln and cool, I sanded away little areas of the silver-pink dichroic coating. Here's the link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1639725173/handmade-kiln-fired-fused-glass-pendant?click_key=54a73dc6776c81b3231b5005845dbc38c4cc8588%3A1639725173&click_sum=c8e0d1db&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #MastoArt #fusedglass #DichroicGlass #glassart #glassartist #kilnglass #artyoucanwear

Back to some kiln fired dichroic glass. This little beauty features strong gold and very subtle pink and silver dichroic tones on a black opaque backing over opaque red. I'm pleased with the strong impression this piece makes. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1479806070/handmade-kiln-fired-fused-glass-pendant?click_key=759c21190b115f134d5b81c4265e344c55aec2e4%3A1479806070&click_sum=3e41f69d&ref=shop_home_active_5&frs=1 #HotGlass #DichroicGlass #Glass #KilnGlass #Jewelry #pendant #Handmade #ArtYouCanWear #MastoArt #MadeInOregon #PNW

Something new in my shop. This little fused glass dichroic pendant reminds me of the skin of a trout or even a salmon, depending on the light. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1477478135/kiln-fired-fused-glass-pendant-with?click_key=d25f4c29b8d5ae0336d828bf246c9cd377bc3c4a%3A1477478135&click_sum=95319cd5&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #glass #glassart #glassartist #pendant #fusedglass #kilnglass #dichroicglass #handmade #artyoucanwear #MastoArt

An experiment that I think was successful: Trying to mimic the appearance of an old mirror losing its silvered surface. I abraded the dichroic surface, which is somewhere between magenta and violet, with rough sand paper. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1402800642/kiln-fired-fused-glass-pendant-in?click_key=d59d6840bdb22d734a39473c9c866a88976b9520%3A1402800642&click_sum=c0ce7364&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #glass #HotGlass #kilnformedglass #glassart #glassartist #glassartwork #fusedglass #dichroicglass #pendant #dichroicglassjewelry #madeinoregon #oregonartist #oregonart #salemoregonartist #SalemOregon #MastoArt

So, @stylo_the_unicorn nudged me to post images of the glass bottle shard I found, which to my eyes appears opaque dark blue but when held to the light seems a transparent mid green. There's no direct sun through the thick altocumulus stratiformis opacus clouds (sorry, I collect clouds) so capturing an image was difficult and, interestingly, the camera's colour correction software is processing glass that looks green to my eyes as a redder-browner colour. Any explanation of the apparent colour change in the glass, please?

I need help from glass and/or science understanders, please. I found a fragment of glass bottle base. The glass appears opaque dark blue (not iridescent) but when held to the light it appears transparent mid green. It also appears to be exuding an orange powdery substance, which I assume is an oxide. I'm therefore wondering if this is dichroic glass, although it doesn't look like any contemporary dichro I've seen. I think it's the wrong colours to be a Tyndall effect, but might Rayleigh scattering or something similar produce this effect? I have no idea what I'm talking about here, obviously.

OK, let's start this week off with a bang! I might have mentioned in a previous post that I've been dabbling in kiln fused glass when I'm not on my torch. Here's the latest piece: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1390541198/handmade-fused-glass-pendant-in-cobalt?click_key=ee43821c4579b9d12a3ce2c2504dd008acbb0f16%3A1390541198&click_sum=e4c404f0&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #glass #HotGlass #FusedGlass #DichroicGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #oregon #pacificnorthwest #pendant #jewelry #etsy #MastoArt #MastoGlass
