Aurora Series ~

I'm working on a new series of glass that I'm calling the
Aurora Series.

It's been a bit challenging ~ I'm still trying to get the colors right.
These are made  with many, many, layers of powdered glass.


I've been getting my opaques & transparents mixed up
which is not a good thing!
These have all been fired twice because I was trying
to intensify the colors.
I forget how washed out the transparents are when fired.
The beauty of them though is that they look like watercolor washes.

I think I need to paint these first ~ that seems to help get the colors
& the washes in the glass correct.
