ASK Silver Rattan & Vetrofond Black Reactions

In a recent conversation with Deb Dabatt of Firebird Flamework, she mentioned some interesting reactions she's been getting when combining ASK Silver Rattan and Vetrofond Black. "Interesting" is putting it rather mildly; they're beautiful and quite amazing. All the beads below are the result of working only the two glass colors mentioned in different flame environments.













Deb said she achieved the effects by working the beads this way:

"After I have finished shaping the bead, I use a heavy reduction flame working the bead just beyond the tip of the yellow candles, checking frequently until I obtain the desired results, before putting it into the kiln.
Results can be variable, dependant on how much black is left exposed to show the effect & how long the bead is worked in the reduction flame."
