Thank you for the many examples. Not sure why, but I was of the impression that striking glass always had to be encased, to keep the struck colors. Is there a general rule of thumb?
No, they do not have to be encased, but they can be, altho sometimes when melting in the encasement, you can de-strike (is that even a word?) the glass and end up with "mud" - - tans and browns.
Fire Lotus is a silver glass from TAG (Trautman Art Glass). Thank you! :) I bought this through a friend of mine who sells it. Various distributors carry TAG glass in the USA, but I am not sure how available it is overseas.
I'm so excited to try this next Wednesday! Thanks for the demo!!
YAY!!! You'll have to show me your results! :)
Silver glass seems elusive sometimes - especially the striking ones. Thank you so much for this FREE video class!
I love your work and I hope to give this a go before to long.
