One of my goals is always to try new fused glass techniques. Well, this is one of them, it’s based on Mark Lauckner’s Patreon courses. He is a fabulous artist and I love his techniques, so unique and fascinating. I won’t go into how to make the technique, but I will tell you I find it a bit addicting. It’s a technique that requires cold working so here are some of the pictures prior to cutting them into shapes.
This was my first try at the technique, I love these so pretty. Especially the how the dichroic comes up the sides. They are transparent so I drilled holes in them. I didn’t take pictures of the back of the pendants but the back is pretty cool as well.
As you can see, I went a bit crazy. The pictures don’t even do the pendants justice. You can also see the tiny champaign bubbles, but it doesn’t bother me. I just love them all. Again, I drilled holes in each of the pendants.
I also changed the technique up a bit and here are some pictures of some of the pendants I created. I remembered to take pictures of the back. They are so pretty.
I also added some color to them. So beautiful, I’m curious which version is your favorite.
I know you are wondering, Karen did you keep any of these beautiful pendants? So, I normally wear my snap necklace and this technique is mostly transparent which is difficult with snap jewelry. That being said the bottom two pieces were mostly opaque, so I put snaps on them and kept them for myself. They are stunning.
One of the things I love about Dichroic is how many different techniques that can be used with Dichroic Glass. Here are just a few other Dichroic pendant techniques. For even more Dichroic Techniques check out the blog posts at the very bottom of this post.
