Dichroic Glass

There is a beautiful selection of dichroic glass which make wonderful pendants. I usually use Warm Glass ....... https://warm-glass.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=dichroic

Abstract Tiles

Fired in the microwave kiln.
Small glass pieces (same coe) piled on top of each other - slightly different sizes.
Fire each 'tile' separately.
Unfortunately using a microwave kiln, you are a bit limited in the sizing of pieces.
Probably the largest you can make is just a bit under 4" dia.
It is quite limiting, but you can still get some nice work done - - (maybe glue them together if you want a larger piece!)

(The top picture isn't shown as a fired piece ....... yet)

Silver Foil (high fire)

Trying experiments with High Fire silver foil. 
1. (from left to right) - fired glass on High.  The foil disappeared and left a slight sheen behind.

2. Fired two small pieces of clear glass on a Medium heat - the silver foil stayed.  I was a bit worried about over fusing the glass again.

3. Fused the foil between 2 pieces of clear glass, and fused on Medium heat, for a little longer, until the glass melted/fused.  The silver foil stayed - and still looked silver.  This was the best method.

Quite Fishy

 Fishes 'Photoshopped'

These were mainly put together with pre-fused bits that I had broken up

from other unwanted pieces, nipped a bit and re-fused.

The eye and mouth detail were painted on using enamel glass paint.

I fused this glass using copper oxide sandwiched between clear glass, chipped it into shape, refired it, then added some gold paint to the 'holes'/'pits'.

fused, then added black enamel paint lines and dots - fused again.
