Crinklized Mixture Corkscrews sets a mixed color coating into twisting corkscrew marks over a crinkled surface. On thin clear glass the folds and the open glass between the spirals carry light through, so backlit the corkscrew marks brighten and the mixed colors come alive across the field.
The dichroic coating shifts with the light and your viewing angle, the mixed tones changing cast as you move the piece and the corkscrews catching light along their twists. The crinkle texture and clear base keep the colors scattered and lively.
Outcomes change with kiln and firing, so test a small piece first.

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.
