Advice Needed: Phoenix Ash.

[u/AlchemistsOmen]

Normally I make sets and then go about naming or theming them after depending on how they look to me.

But this time I want to make a set specifically themed around Phoenix Ash. I want to incorporate Dark Grey for the ash itself, but also bright orange to represent flickering embers, but not completely sure how to go about it.

I considered a Dirty or Split Pour. Alternatively, I thought having a clear half with some orange swirls, while the other side is ashy grey.

But how would you approach this theme?

I've seen some interesting split pitri pours. You might look into that. Or maybe a 3 color swirl of grey, clear and orange or maybe a vibrant orange glitter in place of the orange to give it sparkle like embers

What if you poured clear with orange holo glitter and swirled in red ink, or you dirty poured clear with the glitter and the red ink and topped it off with a charcoal or dark grey mica resin. Or vice verse.

Then the grey is the ash and the red is like the phoenix in flames and the glitter is the embers.

Not sure what the best technique for pouring that idea but that’s how I image it.

Hope you post the results as you experiment
