About Really Teally, 544

Really Teally is an opaque blue-green borosilicate glass from Glass Alchemy that sits between Agua Azul and Peacock in the GA blue-green palette, created to complete the fade and round out the opaque lineup.

Smooth and creamy in the flame across blown, solid, and stringer lampworking applications, it holds its density well and performs beautifully with or without encasement.

A reliable what-you-see-is-what-you-get opaque that contrasts especially well with warm colors across the Glass Alchemy palette.

Working Tip: Work this color in a neutral flame.  Garage at 975° F, Anneal at 1050° F.

Artist Description by Mike Shelbo:

"This color is a what you see is what you get opaque and falls inline between Peacock and Agua Azul.

The characteristics of working this color are just what you would expect from Agua Azul. It has a slight stiffness at first when melting but like the others, it melts easily and smoothly. It will hold up well in stringers and thin blown applications. When blown and stretched thin enough Really Teally will become translucent and allow light to pass through it. Really Teally can be used with or without encasement in clear. Building up solid sections for sculptural bits shows how well the color melts into itself and also how well it holds heat.

Really Teally is workable in all flame settings and can handle intense spot heats without concern of sublimation or boil. For getting the most bang for your buck with this color you can sandwich it between clear layers for blown and solid applications and still yield the same density and look of color in your finished piece. This color compliments the rest of the opaque blue and green palette, and contrasts extremely well with Rasta Gold." - Mike Shelbo
