Glass Alchemy Aquatic Carnival rod

Description

Aquatic Carnival is a playful and striking color that energizes glass creations. It offers a range from creamy tones to metallic highlights. When reduced, it reveals very distinctive reds. Artists who like Dragon’s Eye or Amazon Night will appreciate this shade.

This color contains silver and copper, giving it unique reflective qualities. It works best in a neutral flame, which preserves its original appearance. A flame that is too hot or oxidizing can cause scum or bubbles. These imperfections can spoil the finish. To avoid this, work in the middle of the flame or pre-encase the piece in clear glass. This precaution protects the color throughout the process.

Aquatic Carnival is especially interesting on the surface. Reduction applied at the end of the work releases a vibrant spectrum of greens, blues, and metallic reflections. To reduce, gently rotate the area until a soft orange glow appears without melting the glass. Then remove the piece from the flame and let it cool slightly to see the color changes.

This final reduction step creates unique bursts and gradients, reminiscent of light on water. These shades add depth and complexity to the teal base. Aquatic Carnival is a versatile color, rich in effects and beauty. It is ideal for dynamic and original finishes. This shade adds a touch of elegance and mystery to your creations. Glass artists looking to explore metallic and iridescent effects will especially appreciate it.
