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.

Galaxy

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'.

Dichroic Glass

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