About Olive Green Crayon, 406

Olive Green Crayon is a dense, vibrant opaque cadmium green borosilicate glass with warm yellow undertones—a darker, richer take on Chartreuse Crayon, 403.

Straight out of the martini glass and onto the bench, it works creamy and smooth across lampworking applications including blown glass, sculptural work, and detail work.

It holds its density and true color even when worked thin, while blown applications between layers of clear develop a softer, translucent effect.

Part of the Glass Alchemy Crayon collection and a classic pairing with Red Crayon.

Working Tip: Pre-heat in outer flame. Avoid rapid heating.

Artist Description by Mike Shelbo:

"What you see is what you get here and what you get is an Olive Green that is straight out of the martini glass. Vibrant green opaque glass that when used with Red Crayon would perfectly replicate the color combo found in that which is shaken not stirred.

This color works smooth and creamy. Works like other crayon colors and prefers to be in the mid to outer region of the flame, but can come close to the torch tip in quick passes and light repeated spot heats. Lends well to sculptural work and blown work with 2mm or thicker color application. This color can also be blown thin between two layers of clear for a translucent effect.

Olive Green Crayon, 406 when applied onto itself for bitwork or color design build-up, melts in well. It will not sublime or boil if you work it in slowly or help move things along with a graphite or metal tool." - Mike Shelbo
