Artist Description – Mike Shelbo:
Renowned artist Mike Shelbo has been waiting a long time for this sparkle color. He describes Tiger’s Eye as the perfect finishing touch to the earthy tones palette. Its large flakes create a spectacular prism effect, reflecting all the colors of the rainbow. You’ll also notice gold and silver flakes sparkling throughout. The transparent Beryl-based color adds beautiful depth and vibrant intensity, similar to classic Beryl but more lively.

Tiger’s Eye adapts well to all types of glassworking: blown or solid, thick or thin, while maintaining its brilliance. Simply avoid prolonged exposure to a heavy propane flame to preserve its clarity and sparkle. Mike Shelbo prefers applying dense layers of Tiger’s Eye to fully reveal the richness and variety of its flake spectrum.

Whether you create intricate designs or bold pieces, the Glass Alchemy Tiger’s Eye rod offers a unique and radiant finish. Its blend of rainbow hues and metallic flakes produces shifting effects depending on the light, enhancing every creation.
