TAG Dark Blue Slyme Rod - Firsts
A depthy, heat-responsive blue that can swing from transparent to milky and keeps its color beautifully under clear encasement.
Overview
TAG Dark Blue Slyme is a Trautman Art Glass borosilicate color that can shift from transparent to translucent to semi-opaque depending on how it’s worked, giving you a lot of range from a single rod.
Compared to standard Slyme-style colors, Dark Blue Slyme is known for holding onto more of its blue tone when used under clear, making it a strong option for layered work and clean encasement.
Why this color
This is the kind of blue that can read deep and inky in thicker areas, then open up into brighter, more transparent tones as you stretch it, which adds natural depth without needing multiple colors.
If you like colors that reward heat control, Dark Blue Slyme is a great “one-color palette” for pieces where you want contrast, movement, and shading built right into the glass.
Best uses
- Encased beads and pendants where you want the blue to stay present under clear
- Stringer and linework for shaded details that shift with thickness
- Small sculptural components that benefit from built-in depth and variation
- Layering with clear and other cool tones for oceanic, stormy, or night-sky palettes
