Before and After - surface tension technique

New Fusing Techniques!

Here are some of the new techniques I've been learning since Christmas. This is the multi-layered transparent and dichroic glass made into pendants with AAEGlass decals fired on at the end.



The next picture is of a "surface tension" technique using powdered glass mixed with water.

This last picture shows the result from combining multiple pieces of glass into a "dam" that contains the melted glass into a thick shape ready for diamond tile saw cutting, eventually making a trivet.
