Sour Patch
A lively lime-green rod that reacts dramatically under 395 nm UV light, shifting to a strikingly different appearance under ultraviolet exposure.
Outcomes
-
Lively lime green in normal/ambient lightingAppears as a bright lime green under standard lighting conditions with no special working required for this look.
-
Dramatic color shift under 395 nm ultraviolet lightExpose finished piece to 395 nm UV light to activate the reactive color shift. No additional flameworking technique required beyond normal working.
Working notes
- UV-reactive response requires 395 nm ultraviolet light source to observe the full color-shift effect
