Fused glass
An opportunity came up for me to try designing a fused glass plate. I really had no clue how to prepare and would certainly to it differently next time. However, this is the result. I started with a piece of clear glass, then thin rods of the black were laid down to create a basic shape. If there is a next time, the design might be drawn out and put under the glass as a guide. Scoring and breaking the little pieces was a challenge. The colored dots where just sprinkled onto the glass. Last, a second plate in the blue green color as added to perk it up. The glass is carefully placed in a kiln and there you have it. If nothing else, there is now a better appreciation of work by other artists!

I love it, looks like a snow flake!! It seems like a very hard thing to do, and those processes are so tedious, like you said..it helped you to appreciate the work itself and of other artists' =)
I love patterned glass and I think this is beautiful! I'd love to have a go at glassmaking myself.
Wow! Wonderful project.
It sounds like a neat process...and you had a good experience doing it!
This is lovely. Who would guess that you were inexperienced in it.
Thanks for sharing,

It's cool! I've always wanted to try making glass myself.
I had the opportunity to try this once a couple of years ago. I made several sets of earrings and a couple of pendants. Having worked with it, I know how difficult it was to work with for a newbie. You did an excellent job!
That's really neat. I'd want to buy all the stuff and make a bunch of them! I think it looks great sitting on the window sill too.
Sandra, you have a great variety of amazing talent, I enjoyed a lot looking at them.This fused glass is a stunner!
