Double Glazing
For Macro Mondays theme 'Glaze'.
This image shows a small perfume bottle created at the Isle of Wight glassmaking studio. The glass is blown and shaped, then blasted with an atmosphere of stannous chloride in a fume cupboard. The piece is then left to anneal in an oven which results in the iridescent 'glaze' on the glass due to the stannous chloride coating.
Getting a clear starburst effect on a water droplet can be tricky, so I have no idea how I got this double starburst in a single shot, but it did inspire the title for the photo.
