A unique challenge when working with Fused Glass is that the colors of glass are affected by other minerals to create the colors causing a reaction between the colors. This beautiful 12" bowl of Turquoise Blue and French Vanilla show this reaction by a thin dark like circling each of the turquoise pieces when the iron rich turquoise and made contact with the lead used to give the french vanilla that rich color. Once fired in a kiln to over 1400 degrees the melting and blending of the two colors strikes a reaction. So exciting to plan for this in the design element of this creation.
