I love making fused glass dishes especially using different techniques. Recently I saw a picture in one of my Facebook fused glass and liked it so this first technique is based on that picture. I also sandblasted the first two and then slumped them. I love the mat appearance, such a soft look and just love it. I also like the second row which wasn’t sandblasted and has a glossier appearance. I also used two colors of glass blue and a jade green. Both have a lovely reaction, when you combine sulfur glass (French Vanilla) and copper glass (Blue & Green) you have a chemical reaction.
I also made two magnets using the same technique. Aren’t they cute?
This second technique is more of a freeform fused glass technique. I made what I call quilt technique. I have a lot of left over glass and thought I’d do something fun with it. I used both transparent and opaque glass?
I’ll continue to make artistic dishes. Which is your favorite?
