Beautiful new wildflower necklace.

I've been experimenting with just using a single panel of dichroic glass and then applying a delicate image of flowers and wildflowers with enamel. The difficulty has been getting the temp just right that I don't fire too hot that the edges of the glass alter, but yet they fire polish to a smooth clean finish. Here are 3 designs so far.

Results from the fused glass firing.

Here are the results from last night firing of the fern leaf coasters (see previous post). They came out beautifully. The white glass powder I think goes clear during the firing and perfectly smooth too. Love the detail I got too.

Fern leaf coasters work in progress.

Going into the kiln for a tack fusing. Gold Iridescent on black glass with dense white glass powder printed fern leaf designs. These will be tack fused over night. The white glass goes black during the firing which I find interesting as when I use black glass powder the detail doesn't tend to come out as much as white.

Fern leaf coasters.

A little different from using enamel. These I make regularly by applying glass powder onto bullseye gold Iridescent glass.

A sweet little spider web necklace.

I had fun experimenting with enamel on green streaky glass last night. I fired just a little hotter than tack or contour fusing. Pleased with this one.

New necklace.

Been having fun with reactions and enamel when making this necklace.
