Description
Melia 3 is made in our updated colour base. A chrome free teal version of the Arke and Iris family. Different metallic effects are possible depending on the reduction techniques you use. Melia 3 retains its luster under clear encasement. Textured luster effects are possible with repeated exposure to a reduction flame. Opaque streaks can develop with extended annealing.
For all reduction techniques, cool the glass before reducing and keep the glass from overheating (turning orange).
For rainbow iridescent; use a large brush reduction flame, briefly pass the glass right through the candles, repeating until the colours develop.
For mirrored silver luster; rotate the bead further out in a reduction flame. Repeat until the desired luster is visible.
For textured satin; repeatedly pass the bead through the very farthest reaches of the reduction flame without letting the bead get hot again.
