About Peacock Chameleon, 5486

Peacock Chameleon is a rich opaque Prussian blue borosilicate glass from Glass Alchemy based on Peacock, with a touch of silver for added depth and reactive surface effects.

Like Peacock, it sits between Agua Azul and Twilight in the Glass Alchemy blue palette. The added silver develops organic bursts of light blue, green, and yellow-green over the dense peacock blue base. In applications thinner than 2mm, it softens to a milky opalescent finish, while encasement produces more subtle, blended reactions.

A dynamic choice for lampworking artists who want the workability of Peacock with the added character of silver reactivity.

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

 Artist Description by Mike Shelbo:

"Peacock Chameleon is a rich creamy opaque blue, a shade lighter than.

The base glass is dense peacock blue that will thin out to an opalescent, milky look when blown or stretched to less than 2mm thick.

The silver in the color will push to the surface as you work in a normal flame setting that will result in bursts and streaks as well as hazes of light blues, greens, and yellow greens. Encasement in clear will trap lustering effects and soften tones of color shifting." - Mike Shelbo
