A Pixie Stix pattern scatters thin candy striped sticks across the glass, slender lines crossing at angles over the black base, and the Ripple texture rolls the surface in soft waves beneath them. The Mixture coating fills those stick lines with a blend of colors, so each slender stripe carries its own tone across the wave texture. The black base behind the pattern pulls the mixed colors forward.
The dichroic coating on one side trades its mixed tones as light and angle move. The thin stick lines light up in different hues from one to the next, and the rippled waves bend them as you tilt the piece. Against the black base the pixie stix colors read bright and well separated, scattered over the rolling texture.
Mixed coatings over texture vary kiln to kiln, so fire a small test 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.
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.
