This sheet features a CBS dichroic Aurora Borealis pattern in cyan and dark red, forming broad, curtain-like bands that shift in color as the angle of light changes. The dichroic coating is applied to a Bullseye base of yellow, blue, and red frit with blue streamers, creating a lively interplay between the metallic surface and the textured glass below. The frit and streamer base adds depth and movement, making each piece unique when fused.
The color-shifting effect of the dichroic layer contrasts with the vibrant frit background, offering a dynamic visual experience for kiln-formed glass projects. The final appearance can vary depending on firing methods, so testing a small sample is recommended before committing to larger work.

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.
