Fused glass pyramidal orchids and experiments

Well that's the glass picked up ....the pyramidal orchids worked well...and could look nice with candles behind them when it's dark. It's amazing how different the same piece of glass photographs/ appears!

 The next piece was an experiment that included using a kind of glass paint - it worked well and held its form perfectly...I just need to add some more colour into the piece and fuse that on...then I can think about how/if I should use it again in future pieces.

Detail of the above.

 

Tom, on the other hand did some really experimental work using ground minerals and seeing what happened to their colour when fused within glass. He explains in more detail in his blog click here .
