This glass features the CBS dichroic Mixture Reptilian pattern, presenting a visually scale-inspired motif with metallic color shifts on Bullseye Mardi Gras COE90 glass. The Mardi Gras base offers a colorful, confetti-style appearance beneath the dichroic pattern, adding depth and variation to the overall look.
The dichroic coating produces shifting metallic colors that change with light and angle, emphasizing the reptilian visual pattern over the multi-colored base. Suitable for fused glass jewelry, cabochons, accent pieces, and inlay work. Appearance may change after firing; test samples when color outcome is important.

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.
