FD-723
Description:
Fairy Dust - Blue Cheese is a high temperature flake material designed to refract light with an effect similar to dichroic sparkle when it is melted into the surface of glass. It is packaged in a jar containing 1.5 grams of material by weight, with particle sizes ranging from 100 to 2000µ. Blue Cheese is formulated to produce shimmering teal and magenta color shifts when worked into a flame. This material is compatible with 104 COE, 96 COE, and 33 COE glass, making it useful for both soft glass and borosilicate lampworking applications where surface shimmer and color travel are desired.
How it is used:
Fairy Dust - Blue Cheese is used by lampworkers as a surface effect additive to create sparkling, color-shifting highlights on beads, pendants, marbles, and small sculptural work. A small amount of flakes can be rolled onto a warm gather or pressed into a tacky surface, then carefully melted in while maintaining control of heat so the flakes stay evenly distributed. Artists often apply it as an accent layer over a base color, then encase or lightly melt it flush depending on whether they want a textured shimmer or a smoother finish. It is especially effective in areas where light can strike the surface at multiple angles, such as raised decoration, twist work, and sculpted details.
