Fusing ATF Full Sheet on Fipple




16 X 16 Dichromagic Cyan Copper On Clear Fipple

Create Some Magic with DichroMagic Find exotic color combinations that shift before your eyes with DichroMagic dichroic glass by Austin Thin Films. The unique color coatings create amazing effects when viewed in different lighting; from different angles; or when layered. Colors shift and sparkle with metallic brilliance. During firing; a crazing effect appears; creating a subtle crinkle appearance in the color coating; see an example of this below. Full sheets measure 16 x 16 square. 90 COE. Glass features a soft fipple texture. Fipple is a specialty texture that includes a linear corduroy look and a gentle ripple for a truly one of a kind appearance. Image shown above is the reflected color on black glass. Below is the transmitted color; and a sample of the crazing effect described above. The pendant shown below by artist Melanie Churchill uses several colors of DichroMagic for a bold design.
