It's #glass day #today so the project will be finished in time. Laying out the raw materials, I did that thing. You know that thing ... sliced my hand. The price we pay for choosing this medium! 🙄

So, my brain was bouncing around #FusedGlass stuff this evening, and I found myself looking at glass rods and saw this beautiful Seaweed Aventurine Tint rod and thought, damn I love that, I don't recall ever seeing it in a sheet though, cause I would totally buy some of that.

Because they don't make it. It's only in the rods.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO ME BULLSEYE?

Look what I bought today. I needed more clear sheet glass and this jumped right into my hands. Do I need an intervention? 🙀

Good results for both processes! I now have more parts for future projects. I'm ready to do the test in the studio kiln when the owner is back next week.

At the end of a very busy day, here's this morning's kiln project. It's a two-part effort. Another attempt to properly fire the stringers, plus an attempt to flip and polish some blue puddles. The high temp was lowered another 10F degrees for the stringer test. But ... was it high enough to reverse three puddles and to cure the chemical (white and hazy) that shines them all up. The answer tomorrow.

The newly created puddles. Top and bottom are shown, somewhat cleaned. Sometimes the bottom is prettier than the top. Each one has to be checked. If the bottom side is better, like the one at the top center of the photo, that puddle will be fired again to change the shape.

In a private discussion, I was asked about blue puddles. It turns out there are none in my completed bins, but only in the pending puddle drawer. Well let's fix that! Results will be later tonight or tomorrow.

Puddles are easy, relatively fast and a great way to use scrap glass. I love the random nature of the results. The hardest part is breaking the slabs. Even with heavy-duty running pliers, it is hard.

A quick tour of the photos. Scrap glass in blues and some white was stacked up for the first firing, which was back in 2022 (eye roll). It flattened into a chunky slab (bottom view). Breaking the slab open today revealed the thin stripes of color. Breaking out chunks and setting them on edge sets up the next firing that will create the puddles. Fragments of glass from the breaks will become little colorful dots to be used in future work.

Sadly, Jackson did not do well. But the 15F degree difference between my jewelry kiln and the studio kiln is supported.

Let me introduce you to Jackson. He was a suncatcher that I made for a dear friend. He decided that he was tired of hanging out in the hot Phoenix summer, so he made a break for it. Friend returned him in pieces, but he could not be put together again.

Today I want to compare my jewelry kiln preferred top temperature to the studio kiln. Glass pusher never tops 1475F for a full fuse, where I need to go higher in mine. I wanted just a fast project from scrap glass to fire at 1475F to see the result. That should help me figure out more easily the fiddly temperature for the big project being fired at the studio.

Looking through my scraps, I found Jackson languishing in the yellow bin. So for this test I laid pieces of Jackson over pieces of iridized vanilla.

Sadly, the rainbow did not turn out well. The red is too dark, the yellow is too brown and the lavender is too light. But all the parts will get used someday. The sheet was still overcooked with a 10F decrease from the prior test. The instructor did say that getting the right temperature is fiddly. Onward!

Resulting parts cut from the test sheet. Even though it was a test, some may become jewelry at a future date. The sparkling green aventurine was disappointing. It was much smaller than the rest and the instructor did recommend against using it. So of course I had to at least include it in the test run. 😂
