US IRIS GOLD POWDER
Fine Powder 56gm
Also available as stringer: see under 'Stringers'. Apply the powder carefully to the hot bead as you would do for enamels, then gently strike it. Then use only a 'slightly' reducing flame, meaning turn the oxy down slightly until a SMALL amount of yellow creeps above the flame candles. Now, 'dance' your bead in and out very lightly in the blue tip of the flame, as though you are gently coating the bead with the flame rotating forward and back and hitting all angles of the bead surface. The surface should result in a beautiful metallic gold finish. More specific controlled patterns can be applied using the Enamel Powder Vibe listed on this site under Barefoot Art Tools.

Bathe the bead in a hot flame for a few seconds and then hold it out of the flame to allow the bead to cool before placing in the kiln.The combination of high heat and then cooling develop the iridescent colors.The colors are further enhanced during annealing.
