on a silver kidney wire Each piece is fused to 1500 degrees, then cold worked (ground with a diamond grinder) and fired in the kiln for a second time to 1250 degrees to smooth the edges and refine the shape. Then annealed, which means cooled at a controlled speed, for strength and durability. Dichroic glass literally means ''two colored''. It was thus named because of its fantastic multi-colored and reflective properties. When you look at this glass, it appears to have more than one color at the same time, especially when viewed at different angles. Please keep in mind that computer screens cannot capture the true amazement of dichroic glass and it is very hard to photograph. Most pieces will appear flat in the photos, when in fact they have tremendous depth, sparkle and shine.
