Good for you Jamaison! I love that you're brave enough to share your failures as well as successes. I don't feel so bad when my experiments go sideways.
Hi Jamaison! seeing you suffer, I felt very identified ! I do the casting in the same way. Regarding the mold, when I use a ceramic mold, between the mold and the glass I put a ring of ceramic blanket, that prevents the glass from slipping through the center, more in a case like this, where the ring has depth and the glass can fall uneven . I love your work ! it takes a lot of courage to deal with drop up ! 👏👏👏👏
I'm surprised the original plate didn't sell -- it was completely delightful. I went immediately to your on-line shop to buy it, but found nothing even similar -- gosh, that orange plate was spectacular!
I absolutely love your videos! You make me feel braver to just go in the studio and play around sometimes. I think this is how we learn and grow as crafters and artists. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experiments!
Jamaison, you made me laugh out loud several times during this video. First of all, you are brilliant! I think the vase/vessel for your first try is exceptional and what you did to save it I think made it turn out even better. I am very impressed and always uplifted by your "well, may as well try at this point, nothing left to lose!" attitude. Thank you for sharing and inspiring, you are the best! 😊👍💖
I love the vase and I am sure the gift receiver will love it also. Love how in your videos you show the problems and how to solve them. I always learn something.
I really appreciate the artistic journey, vulnerability and all! Sometimes your adventures and experiments are just what I need to get in the studio and just MAKE something, even when I don’t have a clear plan or feel inspired.
My thoughts exactly. Had the world mold for over a year watched his video and finally tried it. Have had a drop mold for over a year and now going to try that. Inspirational
Nice, and orange is my favorite. That is what makes glass so much fun. Experimenting and learning. Thanks, for the video, this is on me next to try list. I did a rake or comb the other week that turned out okay but I learned a lot in the process. Will I do it again, Yes.
This is a very beautiful piece and I love your courage to try new things. Curious why you used the mold you did rather than an actual drop mold. I hope you never stop sharing these videos with us. ❤️
Good question! I have an actual drop mold but it was too small for the look I wanted to accomplish on this piece. I thought about making my own drop mold with Silkemat or even ceramaguard board or something like this, but that was an extra step too. May have been a better result in the end, but I had a deadline and decided to try this mold. 🤷🏻♂️
I think it's gorgeous! I would be in the same boat as you, not the proper equipment and not able to finish it off nicely, so haven't attempted it... yet! :)
The *original* plan was to use my dremel to cut the rim (which would have worked if it was thin enough and hadn’t fallen through). But it was way too thick for that. And then I was going to cold work the rim with grit on float glass, just like this: ruclips.net/video/5x7nh-UA80w/видео.html I may try drops again with this plan and see how it goes... a thinner drop would certainly make that plan easier!!!
What thickness did the piece end up? I heard you say for every 3mm glass you can go 2 inches. I have a piece and I so want to give it a go but it’s 6-8mm thick.
That turned out very nice! Congrats. The going through the mold unevenly could have been the mold, but could have been your setup not being perfectly level as well. Your kiln could be level, but your posts and other pieces might not be exactly the same size, so it could make your mold not be level.
This detail is in the video notes on RUclips. If you are watching in the app on your phone, you probably just click the headline under the video. If on your computer, I think it’s usually in a gray box with “show more” under the video headline or try to click the headline itself. Thanks!!!
you are a wonderful person performing wonderful art. so well done with excellent narration keeping me engaged to the last second. :-))
Thanks for taking us on your wonderful journey. I am enjoying the ride.
Nice gift - she will remember it for ever - you keep doing these things and I keep wanting to try but haven’t even turned on my kiln yet!😂
Just do it!!!

I was nervous for you! Turned out great! Thank you for making the video! Encouraging!

Thanks for the feedback. Arguably, the audience for my finished glass pieces is different than the audience for my videos. 😉
Turned out beautiful. Thank you for sharing your process. Like with the world mold will be following your example

We learn from every experiment. I love the orange color and how it turned out.
Love the color.
That creamsicle glass is gorgeous. I love the finished project. Nice save.
I love the vase and I am sure the gift receiver will love it also. Love how in your videos you show the problems and how to solve them. I always learn something.
What a great Idea to use flower pots for your risers!!!!! I do love your videos.
You have made me a “fearless fuser!”
Yes!!!!! You go!
You’ve done it again! I am so amazed at what you pull off with your experiments! It’s beautiful and I think you friend is a very lucky lady!

super cool piece! You're so lucky that the fall through was in the front so you could save it. Nice job!!!
Luck was definitely on my side!
Thank you for sharing your videos! I am enjoying your videos and learning too!
Thank you for sharing your videos. You are so skilled (and brave) I learn a lot from you 😊👍
Even though it didn’t turn out how you wanted it to, it is still a fantastic piece.
Love it Jamaison ... even the part that fell through! A hand/home made gift is most precious!
Final piece = lovely!
I love ur videos. Please keep them coming. This was v special
U dared, n u were rewarded.
It looks great! Nicely done!
Great first job, Jamaison!!
Thank you for sharing. great starter piece
Good effort, love the colours and the final effect. Not done one myself, might give it a try now too!
Love it! Love your videos. Keep it up!
I like it. I haven’t tried these yet but they are in my list. I’m more concerned about cutting the rim off and cleaning up the edge than anything.
thank u for sharing.. i love love the color. if u had a different kiln like a top loader how would u beable to judge it touching the bottom?
Thanks! Great question... I really don’t know!
Nice, and orange is my favorite. That is what makes glass so much fun. Experimenting and learning. Thanks, for the video, this is on me next to try list. I did a rake or comb the other week that turned out okay but I learned a lot in the process. Will I do it again, Yes.
Even with the uneven ends it looked great! I would have left it that way. It looked like an orange calla lilly. Interesting shape.
i love it! i wish my digital was large enough to do a drop. but watching you, i may try my manual kiln :)
Verry good👍👍
It may not have turned out exactly the way you wanted but it's beautiful.

Thank you
Did you fire polish after?
It was an experiment. It had inclusions and went into the trash.
Noooo
Love this! I'm building up courage to do something similar - do you need special glasses when you're opening the kiln at such high heat?
You do, yes. I can’t remember the name of them but I’ll see if I can find it. You can also do a Google search?
What thickness did the piece end up? I heard you say for every 3mm glass you can go 2 inches. I have a piece and I so want to give it a go but it’s 6-8mm thick.
Well, because it fell through, one side was very thick while the thinner side was about 6mm?
That turned out very nice! Congrats. The going through the mold unevenly could have been the mold, but could have been your setup not being perfectly level as well. Your kiln could be level, but your posts and other pieces might not be exactly the same size, so it could make your mold not be level.
Completely agree. And I was too hasty and totally forgot to check for level once I set my glass up.
Can you share your complete firing schedule? I want to try this, but need a schedule.

What kiln do you use?
I have a Jen-Ken profusion 26
Oh, I wish you hadn’t cut it! I thought it looked like a calla lily!
I’d buy it
wow!!
Totally nerve wracking! My first was successful, next 2 not. Still learning!
It sure is a journey, isn’t it?
