RAKU JITTERBUG #2

This is an original Val Cox color that became an instant classic in the lampworking community. From this muddy brown, the most intense shades of fuchsia pink, violet, blue and green can emerge.

To really bring out these colors, you need to give it intense heat. Then cool the bead--generally with a marver. Repeat until colors emerge. (Hot Heads probably won't be hot enough to get these colors.)
