Thank you! I think the colors are as much luck as skill at the moment, though I keep playing around. Yes, pulse setting for a lot of it. It took me most of a quiet day at work.

That's pretty close! You've got a good eye.

I've been working as a pipe welder/fabricator for approaching two years now, and I was an artist before that. Combining the two is a new thing!

The value changes are heat tint. When I want to have bigger, more colourful patches, I turn up the amps. If I run clusters of beads in close succession, that also brings out the tint because the concentration of heat. I sketched out the design using an electric engraver so I would have something to follow once I had my hood down. Thank you!

Thank you!
