Description:
Lunar Glass Silver Brownish Purple is a silver-rich, earthy purple that shifts between smoked plum, and cocoa-brown as it develops. In a neutral flame it can stay smoother and more transparent, while gentle reduction and heat-cycling bring out darker wine tones, warm brown undertones, and streaky, storm-like movement that gives the color a lot of depth.
What to expect
- Color range: warm brown-violet → plum → deep wine/eggplant with smoky shadows
- Visual texture: natural banding and wispy striations, especially in thicker gathers
- Overall vibe: “spacey-earthy” — rich, dramatic, and organic rather than bright
Working character
- Neutral flame for cleaner, more translucent purples.
- Light reduction to coax out the browns and deepen the purple (heavy reduction can push it darker and more opaque).
- Heat-cycle to build complexity: warm to a glow, cool, then reheat gently to develop layered tones.
Great for
- Sculptural work where the shading enhances form
- Stringer/linework for gradients and shadowy outlines
- Encasement to amplify the smoky depth and create a “nebula” look
