Why the colours move
The name came from the water. She and James dive, and they live on the Deschutes; the studio sits on it too. The colours in the glass are the colours she keeps looking at — river blues and greens, and the sudden bright ones that come out of a good firing.
Dichroic glass is the reason a photograph never quite settles the matter. A microscopically thin metal-oxide coating reflects one colour and lets another through, so the same pendant reads teal from one angle and copper from another. That is why most pieces here are photographed twice, and why nothing is retouched.
Chains and cords are sold separately, in sterling silver, so a piece goes on the one you actually want rather than the one it happened to come with.
How it works
Amy packs and posts everything herself. Nothing is drop-shipped, nothing is made in batches of a hundred. If you want a colour she has not listed, or a piece like one that has already sold, ask her — she will tell you honestly what a firing can and cannot do.
