Cool effect! Prolly did the fuming part wrong on the first one even tho I held it in or just above the green flame. Guess I will see how it looks tomorrow when it comes out of the kiln!

It can take a while for enough fuming to accumulate on the surface, so be patient. You'll get a color change LONG before you get the gold tint over the surface.
Yes, I like the way the rod looks too! I don't expect you will see much difference when it comes out of the kiln as you saw when you put it in, not like striking and reducing. Keep trying!
