About Rasta Gold Crayon, 201

Rasta Gold Crayon is a vibrant opaque cadmium gold borosilicate glass that sits between Yellow Crayon and Orange Crayon on the warm palette.

Dense and creamy in the flame, it offers smooth, controlled workability across both solid and blown lampworking applications.

It holds up under heavy manipulation and stretching without easily boiling, making it a dependable choice for both detail work and larger forms.

Part of the Glass Alchemy Crayon collection, designed to work seamlessly with the full range of Crayon colors.

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

Artist Description by Mike Shelbo:

"Rasta Gold Crayon is smooth and creamy when not encased in clear and is not prone to easy boiling. Working Rasta Gold in solid and blown work is great because the color is so dense. It lends well to heavy manipulation and stretching.

I will mostly work this color in the center to outer region of the flame but for quick heats with a sharper hotter flame you can bring Rasta Gold Crayon close to the torch tip as long as you move the rod while heating and do not overheat one small spot in particular. Try moving the rod away from the torch tip while running a sharp hot flame if you are trying to weld or spot heat for detail and you want a perfect melt.

This color compliments and contrasts well with Shamrock, 4494 as well as many opaque and transparent Glass Alchemy Cobalts and Blues, as well as the other warm Glass Alchemy Crayon colors." - Mike Shelbo
