You are one of my favorites. I like that you share your experiments. How you repair and save pieces. You are inspirational. Thank you from Québec, Canada.
Thank you for sharing your video. Good information here. I use the microwave kilns and have done something similar using stainless steel cookie cutters lined with thin fire paper and I think your techniques after the initial fire can be applied there as well.
What a beautiful pendant. Thanks so much for sharing. Question? Could you possibly incorporate ashes into one of these pendants? Maybe under the first dichroic layer?
Thank you for this video, so inspirational. Please would you mind sharing your fire polish firing schedule, I'm struggling at the minute to get satisfactory results. Thanks again.
Hi! Any recommendations for polishing my fused glass? When I pull it from the kiln it’s a bit hazy until I add water. Once the water dries it’s hazy again..
Hi Barbara. If a fire polish schedule is not fixing the problem then it sounds like you have devitrification (devit). Try this method to fix it www.bullseyeglass.com/besides-sandblasting-how-can-i-remove-devit.html. You can see how to avoid devit in my video number 13 timeframe 24:39. Hope this helps :)
Yes, you can follow the firing schedule in the description. All kilns vary but this should be a good starting point for you. Remember to soak in vinegar and water first as per my video 13. :)
Hi. Thank you for your kind comments. I cant remember where I got mine from but it is the same as this one www.creativeglassguild.co.uk/prod/hearts-stars-mould. Hope this helps :)
I want to do a video with projects from my fabric scrap craft book. It would not compete with yours. Would you be willing to tell me what kind of camera you use.
I made these but I have a hard time cleaning the Kim wash off of the bottom of my jewelry do you have any tips on that I soak them in water and that lose some of it but not all of it do I just grind It Off
Hello Wanda. I dont have a problem with kiln wash sticking to the bottom of the pendants. Maybe its the make of kiln wash that you use, its strange. You could try using a nail brush or scourer with water to remove it, or a fine sanding block. Hope this helps :)
@@ArtsandCraftsTI I'm going to try a different Kim wash I'm going to scrape the Kim wash I have off of my moles and use a different kind I really thank you so much God bless you and make things work out perfectly for you and your jewelry
Hi. I have have been successfully making hearts using your video techniques and this mold. I found that I needed to hold at 1480 F for 30 minutes to fully melt the glass. Hah, I thought that I was being smart by cutting the mold in half to use only the hearts in the mold. The result was my glass was fried and stuck to the mold. Do you know anything about what happens when the glass is full fused too long ?
Hi 120lana. I too have a mold I cut in half. The reason your glass stuck was probably because you did not have enough kiln wash on it. You are correct with your firing schedule. The schedule I have in my description is just for a fire polish not full fuse. Hope this helps :)
Hi Melissa. For the initial fire I use the full fuse schedule at the following link. For the final tack fuse I use the tack fuse schedule. This link does show a bubble squeeze schedule you could try. Did you use large pieces of dichroic and clear as I did, or did you use frit? Larger pieces create less bubbles. Frit creates lots of bubbles. Hope this helps. :) www.warm-glass.co.uk/images/pdfs/products/Basic%20Firing%20Schedules%20for%20most%20kilns.pdf
Hi. Yes this is entirely possible and a great option. In my video 11 I show how I glue on my bails and I dont have any knowledge of them coming off from the ones I have sold or the ones I still have. I find if they are going to come off, they will when I do my first test as shown in the video. In this video I also show an option to make your own bails out of wire and these glue on really well because the glue can get right between the wires creating a good bond. Hope this helps :)

These are lovely.
Thank you Jolene for taking the time to leave your kind comment :)
I like this alot
Thanks for the great video. I love the idea of adding the frit after the first fusing.
Thank you Denise
Thanks for sharing, I didn't know we could use the Dichroic blobs in molds. Great idea!!
Thank you Bonnie
Great thanks for sharing .

Hi Judi. Thank you. Yes I agree, it is possible to do in a mwk too. :)

Hi Kathie. Thank you for your kind comments. Yes I would think you can. I havent done it myself but I dont see any reason why not.

@@ArtsandCraftsTI hi, do you think these moulds (size permitting) can be used in a MWK please 🥰🥰
@@marionemberson Hi I would not recommend it, they can break :)

Hi Sharon. I just use my Samsung phone to record the video clips. Then I assemble them in Sony Vegas Pro. :)

Did you color the kiln wash
Hi Debi, no its the colour it is. It changes to white when fused. :)

Does it matter what coe dichroic glass is
Hi Debi. No it doesnt matter so long as you dont mix the coe's :)
Do you ever fuse a wire into a piece of glass to create your own finding? I have found that glued findings often fall off.
Hi. Yes this is entirely possible and a great option. In my video 11 I show how I glue on my bails and I dont have any knowledge of them coming off from the ones I have sold or the ones I still have.
