those opal stars are really nice. got a few lightning bolts too.

Nice application with the stars.

struck these in the kiln a couple times to try and make em pop more, seemed to enhance the blues and greens mostly:

Nice work! Also like the American flag rig with those sick star opals!

Dude, the American flag one is awesome!

+ 1 on the flag! Should go with the Easyriders thing and stuff a roll of bills in it:)

What temp are you striking at? I'd bump it up a bit. I strike at 1165. Those look like they could strike out a ton more

ya i guess not, according to my kiln i took em to 1200. went from 950 to 1200 twice, held it for around 30 mins at 1200.. maybe i just need to apply the silver and gold heavier to begin with?

I think you have enough fume, could be wrong though, but it sure looks like a good amount.

Try going up and down through the strike cycle a bunch of times. Maybe even bring it down to 900 or even 850 in between. Same principle as letting a piece cool between flame strikes. Twice is a start. Maybe try 5-10? As long as there are no chrome color attachments I would just leave it in there to see if you can reach the results you desire.

thanks Mecha, i will try it on a few things. I saw the pieces Glassantics posted recently, and the fuming was super bold, looked great.

Opal Stars are awesome!! I want to see some lightning bolts.. Are the opals stars and bolts available for purchase somewhere?

ya, at profound.

dont fume more fume less... too much silver = ass white striking only makes it ass whiter In my experiance nice work though. If you want good fume then puff those tubes out thin before you do any work If you fume heavy then go in and burn it out with super oxy then regrow in propane now fume gold trap = MONEY but most of my stuff comes out looken over white cuz I get scared that theres not enough so who am I to talk... I rember though the guy that taught me to fume always telling me Less is more with fume good advice I think

Bring it all the way down to 800. The crystals grow at 800. Liquify and spread around 1150
