Artist Description by Mike Shelbo:

"This opaque aqua blue works great and has never given me any problems.
 I know that it is one of the most popular Glass Alchemy colours and the reason is because no matter which way you work it, the results are fantastic. I use it for murrine, solid sculpture, blown work on clear tubing or coil potted and with or without encasement in clear.
Agua Azul holds its colour as it is drawn out into stringers and is applied smoothly and works creamy. When blown extremely thin you can see slight translucent qualities and minuscule air bubbles, but this only shows when not encased and blown thinner than 1mm. Complimenting and contrasting a wide array of Glass Alchemy colours, Agua Azul is a mandatory part of my palette and has been since I first used it long ago" - Mike Shelbo
