Studies in Glass Color

I’ve embarked on a color study project to document what different colors of transparent glass do when layered over each other.  I’m hoping that it will serve as a reference as I branch out into other designs.  It is very time consuming as each bead in this series takes 30 minutes to an hour but once the project is done I suspect it will save me time that has normally been spent experimenting with color for each design.  No more trial and error…I can just reference my documentation.  You can read more about this project today on Watch Me Create, another blog I write for.
