    Here are a few observations on Confetti, a basic decorating technique used by Franz Welz and others.

    Confetti: spots, frit, ground glass, end of day, spatter, or glass chips are all synonymous.
    Confetti is just smaller glass pieces added to the base glass or glass ground. They can be added in any phase of the glass forming process. Confetti can be used in any layer of glass, they can be incorporated into the base layer, internal decor, surface (smooth) or surface texture (rough).
    They can be small or large, close together (end of day) or far apart (spots).

    Confetti is always a single color of glass (as apposed to canes) even though many colors can be applied at the same time or in different stages.

    Confetti can also be combined with other glass pieces like powders, metallic flakes or powders, canes or cased glass Pieces... the confetti combinations and techniques are endless, here are just a few basic ones.

    1. Monochromatic: One color of confetti on colorless or tinted glass; if one color is applied to any opache color it becomes a bi-color decor

    2. Bi-color transparent: Two distinct confetti colors used on colorless or tinted glass; colors do not overlap

    3. Bi-color opaque: A single color used over an solid tango color

    4. Tri-color opaque (or transparent): Two applied confetti colors over a opache or transparent base color

    P.s. Look forward for posts on multicolored decors

      Keep 'em coming. I always enjoy analysis of the process, in addition to aesthetic enjoyment of the pieces.
