Double Helix Iris 2 - A Spectrum of Colors!

I came across a sample rod of Double Helix Iris 2 at my last Sunday Session in the studio! 

The website had hinted that this glass is great specifically for exterior applications, Iris yields a strong oil slick effect and maintains its pearlescence under encasement.

I primarily user Double Helix reduction glasses for it's ability to create metallic shine or pearlescence under clear glass encasement. 

So I was naturally curious about what colors I would pull from this glass. 

This round focal glass started on a clear base with swirls of Double Helix Iris 2. 

Patterns of crosshatches were made with a fine blade. 

A layer of clear glass and a wrap of 99% fine siver wire were added and then capped again with more clear glass. 

The result is beautiful and would be a stunning focal piece of jewelry art.
