Today's post explores some experiments that I had with storming silver glass.
Storming is based on a tutorial by Amy Kinsch. The principle is to heavily reduce a silver infused glass and by manipulating the torch's mix of propane and oxygen you can create webbing designs when captured under a clear glass encasement.
In this set, I used combinations of TAG's Golden Emerald and Double Helix Psyche glasses.
The base of the beads is a new CiM color named Cleopatra. It is a dense and saturated transparent purple.
As you can see, there are lots of stormed reactions that make each bead unique.
This dense transparent purple base glass is very dark on its own.
For the round bead, second from the left, I used a clear core before adding Cleopatra purple in order to give the bead more definition by diluting purple. It created a great transparency for both the hue and the texture of the twisted storms.
