Glass

The kiln has been hot lately. I believe I've fired it up 4 times in the last week. Here is some of the process and what I've been pulling out of the kiln.

Used some scrap glass as the base of a piece

Layered some new strips of clear and clear dichroic glass on it.
Dichroic won't stick to dichroic so I  have to make sure the dichroic side is pointed up.

sitting in the kiln ready for firing.

a new pink piece. Notice how it looks all light pink on the bottom layer?

well some of the pink was a "striker pink" meaning it majorly changes color in the firing.
You can also see that on two strips of the golden pebbles I put dichroic layer down accidentally,
luckily its just sitting on regular glass so it didn't cause a problem.

the kiln load Monday night. Yes, 3 pieces ran together.

these next 3 pieces are ready to be cut up into jewelry.

I whacked this one a little too hard on the table after scoring the glass to separate it
from the other two pieces.

this is the piece that started with the little round scrap dichroic blobs as the base layer.
