A little splash of color
Just playing around with a color combination that has a real rich flavor to it, at least to me it does. About 5 x 17 inches.
Spectrum black, red and almond.

The edges on this piece aren't perfect, they do have a slight scolloped look where the colors change around the edge.Kathie Karancz wrote:Huh..... as I don't have a proper cold working tool (wet belt sander), I have had problems with my sides caveing in a little - giving it that fluted kind of look. How did you prevent that if you didn't use a WBS??
I have fired this color combination before and I found the red tends to pull back from the edge more than the black and the almond. I compensated by cutting the red a little longer than the adjacent pieces.
You're right about a WBS being able to correct the problem. After a sand blaster the WBS should be next on your list of necessary coldworking tools.

On this piece I let the red overhang about 1/16 inch. In some samples I fired the red seemed to always pull short of the adjacent colors so I gave it a little extra in hopes it would come out equal. Seems to have worked, to a point, the edges aren't perfectly straight but they work.
As for coldworking, just stay tuned for a while. I'm working on a write-up about my experiences. I hope to have it finished shortly. This will be more of general look into coldworking for the fuser and what type of equipment will give you a particular edge style.
