Default How do YOU use Double Helix Lusters?

I have never used any of the Double Helix lusters but I now have quite a bit to play with. I like to go to the torch with a list of idea to try.

Anyone have any suggestions on using it or particularly nice color combos?

Maybe my first question should be: Is anyone using Lusters?

I'm not sure what you mean by lusters. Reduction colors?

If that's what you mean, I like encasing them and trapping the shine.

I am with Ellen - not sure what you mean by lusters exactly. Double Helix calls all its reducing silver glass lusters including the opaque lusters such as the test batch TH473.

This one is beautiful on its own. Sorry, no color combo suggestions from me, but the glass is gorgous!

Skirts on angels This is the purple luster. Mostly I use them on exteriors and reduce them.
