Cold Characteristics
Light blue-lavender. May have a hint of the struck colour. Slight variations in cold and flameworked colour from one production run to another.
Working Notes
Torch: Work in a cooler, oxidizing atmosphere. Once formed in the flame, if Light Fuchsia has not struck, cool the glass in the flame until it is stable and behaves more like a solid. Gently reheat then cool the mass while looking for its colour to deepen. Light Fuchsia strikes more reliably in larger applications, such as a core bead.
Kiln: Rod-only glass style. A linear, streaked design may develop upon firing and may be visible whether fired lengthwise, or on end.
