Jackpot is a super saturated sparkle color. If you like Paparazzi but wish it was denser, then Jackpot is the color for you! This color holds up well in encasement and can be mixed with other colors to create custom super sparkle colors!


Working Tip:  This color likes to be worked cool, but make sure you have your heat base built up while tooling or manipulating the glass to avoid developing a gray haze. As with all chrome colors, we suggest you work this color in a neutral flame.  Garage at 975° F, Anneal at 1050° F.

Artist Description by Mike Shelbo

GA Jackpot has large flakes of sparkle giving this transparent deep money green an intense shimmer and wide spectrum of reflective color. When you stripe, coil, mash, layer and twist or swirl this color you can actually see the effect in the look of the sparkle. An example would be the tight satin like pattern that is formed when compressing the rod while spinning. Think of each sparkle flake as a small flat chip that can either be stacked on top of one another or laid side by side, each manipulation changing the “look” or finish.  You can achieve a larger flake or sparkle when the rod is applied and worked in flat without much manipulation.

This color is great for every application including solid work, with or without encasement.  Hollow forms will yield a beautiful array of effects depending on the thickness in color layer.  When blown thin or stretched down into a thin stringer or veil, Jackpot will be transparent yet still lend a lot of sparkle to the finished look.  Do not use an extremely high mix of propane when Jackpot is being worked for long periods of time in the flame without encasement, the result would be a slight grey just on top of your brilliant base color.  At any time, a thin layer of clear over Jackpot will often "brighten" it up a bit and the encasement always helps amplify the sparkle while leaving your surface clean and crisp.  Jackpot can be encased in thick clear for marbles and sculptures.  Layer under other more transparent colors such as GA Double Passion and GA Brilliant Blue for wonderful results.
