Roman Numeral 1 Image
S392
The Roman Numeral 1 Image is a pre-cut dichroic glass square featuring a bold numeral design with a reflective dichroic coating. Dichroic glass is created through a specialized vacuum deposition process that applies multiple layers of metallic oxides to the glass surface. This coating creates the signature color-shifting property that dichroic glass is known for, where the piece displays different colors depending on the angle of light and viewing perspective. The dichroic coating is permanently fused to the glass surface, ensuring durability and longevity in finished pieces.
Dichroic square images are essential components for lampworkers and glass artists creating jewelry and decorative pieces. These pre-designed images can be applied directly to lampworked beads, pendants, and sculptural forms. The images are typically fused onto clear glass bases or incorporated into larger compositions during the flameworking process. Artists apply the dichroic image to the surface of their work, allowing the coating to meld with the base glass when heated. The color-shifting properties create stunning visual effects that catch light beautifully, making them ideal for pendant work, cabochons, and decorative elements. These images are also popular for fusing applications, where they can be layered with other glass sheets and fired in a kiln to create finished jewelry pieces and art glass.
