Default Too simple for tutorial, let's call it a tip.

I had posted this on the other forum last year but it is a nice one to repeat.
This one is very simple
OK so you know which moretti color looks like this right?






a lovely golden pink







gold pink is HOT now...






I am going to have to make more of these













Especially when working moretti "new" colors, I always try different ways of handling and one is reduce them.

This is either sage green or avocado. Reduce after you melt in. One becomes very glittery gold and one pink...so I can't tell you which one this is...but try them both...heck try all the hand pulled colors. When someone asked about favorite glass... I like bullseye but love moretti for its reactivity.
I would suggest taking every hand pulled color and testing it with redox, a rapid cool and surface reheat... not only does this work with sdp but also powder pink, tongue pink...etc...
Again this is a repeat for me but it might be interesting to someone.
