"The Obsidian does bleed out into the Opal Yellow, but in a very pleasing way - the warm grey/brown working nicely with the warm, buttery Opal Yellow. The end result is a sort of toasted zebra effect." Read more at DragonJools blog.

"Obsidian with Triton, reduced and fumed a little. Not sure that it is amazingly more effective than on anything else - but you can see that the bead Triton is reflective enough to show the pink t-shirt I was wearing while shooting it!" Read more at DragonJools blog.

"When combined with silver glass, the surface fumes a beautiful metallic. With Triton, it is an amazing midnight blue!" See more at Darlene's blog.
