Northstar Lokis Dipity tube

Loki’s Lipstick is a refined alternative to NS-13 Amber Purple, offering more precise control of the color strike and a particularly rich color palette. This reactive glass allows for visual effects ranging from golden and silver fumes to deep purples and rich magentas.

For best results, work Loki’s Lipstick in a hot, sharp, and well-defined oxidizing flame. This approach reveals the full depth of the surface metallic reactions. Aggressive heating with a strong, precise flame is essential to remove the initial metallic deposit layer and fully release the colors.

Depending on the technique used, the tube can be flame-struck or kiln-struck, offering great working flexibility. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for creators seeking dynamic and controlled effects.

Loki’s Lipstick combines chromatic intensity with precise rendering control, making it a valuable tool for glass artists who want to refine their strike effects while maintaining excellent working stability.

Important note: The tubes are hand-drawn using an artisanal process. The glassmaker heats a mass of molten glass and stretches it to form the tube, which can result in natural variations in diameter and wall thickness along its length. These tolerances can sometimes be significant depending on the batch and are an inherent part of the manufacturing process, giving each piece its unique character.
