Caramello: A Milky Way Salmon based glass, with silver - imagine the possibilities.
Susan Walter of Mewkittie Creations sent me this pic of her amazing Brown Trout:

I love the caramello! It just happened to work out really well for these brown trout fish I've been making. Here's a picture of a necklace I made with it. I wish the pinkish color showed up better in the photo because it adds something special to the trouts. The only other colors I used were raku frit - on the top of the fish body and on the bail and clasp, Effetre rubino for the line on the fish, black and white and a bit of Lauscha clear for the eyes. I also used black for the dots on the trout. Susan |

This is a picture of a bead that I made with the Lauscha Caramelo. It totally blew me out of the water. I was having trouble shaping this bead, so I spent a long time in the flame. Next morning when I took it out of the kiln, it came out a gorgeous shade of PINK! The bead is called Kimono.

My friend Connie Paul gifted me a rod of Caramello and I have to say "I am in LOVE!" I thought the colour in the rod was gorgeous and when my heart came out of the kiln it was the most gorgeous shade of pink ever! What a pleasant suprise! The details: - I use a nortel minor on natural gas and a 5lpm concentrator. I worked the heart in a neutral flame, for a while (around 8 minutes), reheating as I shaped the groove of the heart. It was reheated at least 10 times I'm sure. I popped it in a reducing flame for one pass ( around 3 - 4 seconds) to see what would happen (I'll be testing to see if this actually does anything more in the future). It was annealed at 968 and brought down to room temperature overnight. |
