Artist Description by Mike Shelbo:

When worked properly Clover Chameleon can produce a variety of rich, colorful results.  A smooth creamy multicolored look can be achieved without encasement.  The green base will change to variations of green, purple, light blues, violets and with certain working atmospheres, green golds and wisps of yellow.
Encase in clear to thin out and soften colors and bring out more blue hues.  When worked and reworked, your piece will shift in color slightly depending on flame exposure and kiln time.  This color should be worked in the middle to outer tip of your torch flame to avoid overheating.  Quick exposure to a sharp hot flame close to the torch tip is okay, but test how long it takes to overheat and boil so you know this color's threshold.
