Description:
Rasta Man Image is a pre-made dichroic image element designed to be incorporated into lampworked and fused glass pieces for bold, graphic decoration. It is made as a finished image on dichroic glass, giving you a strong silhouette-style design with the color-shifting, reflective look dichro is known for. These image pieces are typically used when you want a clean, recognizable graphic in your work without having to hand-cut complex shapes or build the design from multiple layers.
How it is used:
- Select a placement where the image will read clearly on the finished piece, such as a pendant face, marble window, or vessel panel.
- Tack the image in place with a gentle flame and bring the surrounding glass up evenly to avoid shifting.
- Encapsulate with clear glass when you want depth and protection for the image surface.
- Use controlled heat and even rotation to keep edges from distorting while you seal it in.
- Finish by shaping, polishing, and annealing as you would for the base form.
