Create Some Magic with DichroMagic
Find exotic color combinations that shift before your eyes with DichroMagic dichroic glass by Austin Thin Films. The unique color coatings create amazing effects when viewed in different lighting, from different angles, or when layered. Colors shift and sparkle with metallic brilliance. During firing, a crazing effect appears, creating a subtle crinkle appearance in the color coating, see an example of this above.
DichroMagic Turquoise/Lighter Pink behaves slightly differently than most other dichroics. When on black glass, the color appears turquoise at almost every angle regardless of the light, and appears light pink only at a few angles. On clear glass the light pink color is more predominant as a reflected color, while a rich turquoise color is seen as the transmitted color.
Available in 4" x 4" squares, 8" x 8" quarter sheets, and full 16" x 16" sheets. 90 COE. Glass features a soft "fipple" texture. Fipple is a specialty texture that includes a linear corduroy look and a gentle ripple for a truly one of a kind appearance.
Image shown above is the reflected color on black glass. Above is a sample of the transmitted color and the crazing effect described. Pendant shown below by artist Melanie Churchill uses several colors of DichroMagic for a bold design.
