C Harris Temoku poured inside
Nutmeg sprayed over entire outside (medium coat)
Band of Jens Juicy Fruit sprayed on outside top 1/3 (thin coat)
Band of Water Color Green sprayed overlapping the JJF and down onto the Nutmeg. (thin coat)
Be careful with Water Color Green as it is quite runny.

Thank you, Robbie.
CHT = C. Harris Temoku
JJF = Jen's Juicy Fruit
The spectral effects on the outside at the very top seem to involve the small amount of CHT that is diffusing from the rim. You can see it on several of the cups from this series. Not sure about the blue/purple, but Steven Hill has gotten effects similar (and better) with the reactions of JJF and Strontium Crystal Magic and Spotted Black. I have yet to pull any more saturated yellows, oranges, reds, or purples with any these combos, just hints that the colors are there waiting to be released.
