Northstar Ice blue Rod

Description

The Northstar NS-070 Ice Blue rod offers a fresh, aquatic blue hue. This luxurious copper color immediately captures attention. As a light transparent color, it enriches your creations with great optical depth. Even in thin layers, Ice Blue impresses with its brilliance.

While this rod is not ideal for stringer or cane work, it is perfect for sculpture and glassblowing. Its use as an overlay color is particularly noteworthy. Adding Ice Blue over the NS-045 Blue Moon creates a stunning, vibrant blue. This combination is highly appreciated by glass artists, as it produces amazing visual effects that enhance the beauty of their work.

To maintain the clarity of Ice Blue, it is crucial to work in an oxidizing flame. This helps preserve its brilliance and prevents discoloration. However, if you choose a neutral or reducing flame, expect different results. The color will darken and develop reddish-brown streaks, altering its appearance. This transformation can be unexpected, so it’s important to consider this while working.

The NS-070 Ice Blue rod easily integrates into various projects. Whether you want to create delicate sculptures or blown pieces, it suits all your creations. Its unmatched visual appeal makes it a favored choice among glass artists. With the Northstar Ice Blue rod, you can experiment and explore new artistic possibilities while playing with light and transparency.
