Frames

I find it interesting that the red design on the green background is so alive and vivid while the green design (yes, that's green) on the red background is so subtle.

 

When you are working with glass powder, the different colors obviously behave differently. The red powder retains its intensity and the green gets muted.

Pot Melt Clock

I really like the way this pot melt came out. However, since I've already done a red pot melt bowl, I decided to create a clock from this one.

Pot Melt Ruffle Plate

For this pot melt, I used A LOT of clear glass. The original melt was round and I cut the four sides off to make it square since I have so many round pot melt bowls.

Before and After

This is a closer look at the process for making one of the candle bridges from yesterday's post.

Candle Bridges

For much of the last couple weeks, I've been using my little kiln mostly while trying to nurse the big one back to health.

I've created a couple of candle bridges.

The first one, is similar to a group of plates I did where I topped the squares with smaller squares and left a space between each piece.

The second is the same principle, square on top of square, but there was not as much difference in the size, so you can see just a small border of the bottom color. And these pieces were arranged more freestyle on a blue background.
