More fused glass work ... with RD Glass
Another lovely morning with Roxy of RD Glass.... This time I worked on refining the method for my mussel bowl. The first one I made had air bubbles which was great as they reflected the watery subject matter, but one grew rather alarmingly and had to be drilled into inclase it 'popped'. This time I used kiln paper underneath; cut into mussel shapes to give relief; then a sheet of plain glass onto which I put the wires and powders; then another layer of plain glass and finally I added cut glass and frit. This was so much easier than last time as I could go back and modify underlying layers and it should have reduced the large bubble problem ...it'll be interesting to see what happens when it's fired! I also made an ammonite inspired opaque glass bowl... Tom concentrated on using powders to create stromatolite coasters! Now to wait for them to be fired.
