Crinklized Boxes 2 takes the squared box grid and runs it over a fine crinkle texture. The crinkle fractures the coating inside each box, so the geometric layout stays readable while the surface picks up countless small facets on the thin black base.
Those facets multiply the dichroic shift, each box glittering as its little facets catch the light at slightly different angles. The black base holds the grid lines dark and the box edges crisp, keeping the structure clear under all that fractured color.
Because firing results vary, test a small piece before a full run.

Working Notes
Firing Guidelines and Helpful Tips
Dichroic results vary by kiln, firing schedule, base glass, capping, layering, and coating orientation. These are guidelines, not guarantees. Follow the glass and coating manufacturer's guidance, and test a small piece first when the final look matters.
- Coating side orientation and clear capping can each change the final look, so test first when the result matters.
- Appearance may vary after firing, and the metallic color shift can read differently by viewing angle and lighting.
- Cut and handle the coated surface with care.
What is CBS Dichroic glass?
Dichroic glass has ancient roots, including the Roman Lycurgus Cup. Today, dichroic glass uses thin metal oxide layers on the glass surface to create a metallic color that shifts with light and viewing angle. CBS Dichroic glass applies this coating over a base glass, and the coating is on one side only.
