More Glass Fusing

 




Here are my latest glass fusing attempts. Next up, drilling a hole in one of the larger pieces so that I can use it as a Christmas ornament.

Also here are a few Chase moments because I can't resist writing them down somewhere.
- Yesterday Chase was jumping on our bed saying "I want to go I want to go" and Boris asked him where he wanted to go and he said "I want to go to Mexico" when we asked why he told us he wanted to go and play with toys there. Apparently he is going to be a traveller.
- Chase is officially obsessed with my iPhone. He can unlock it, navigate to the game he wants to play, and get it all going. Crazy...I now have to fight my 2 year old for my phone.
- At school yesterday they did a special art project where they undressed the kiddos and let them "body paint". Apparently Boris's neat-freakish-ness has been passed along to the next generation because Chase spent the entire time trying to avoid getting messy and the only paint he had on him was where other kids had bumped into him. It was quite the comparison to some kids who were covered from head to toe in paint. (BTW, Chase moves up to the big kid class room next week! He is growing up so fast!)

 

Free Give Away - Fused Glass Pendant

 
Let's try another give away, I am so excited about my new fused glass projects that I want to share my excitement! My first one didn't go so well as I only had a few people enter - so hopefully this one works out a bit better.





You win your choice of one of the above three pendants. They are all fused glass tiles with silver plated bails.

- One entry for leaving a comment
- One entry for mentioning the give away on your blog (just be sure to leave me a comment letting me know you did that)
- One entry for following my blog
- I will do the drawing on Monday, August 17th (hopefully it will cheer up someone's Monday)
 
 

My First Glass Fusing Experiment

 
I am so excited! My glass fusing supplies arrived yesterday.











One thing that I learned from this experiment is that I need to cut my pieces a bit smaller. These turned out larger than I wanted them to.







Overall I am please with my first attempt. The pictures don't really do the pieces justice but I took them in a hurry this morning. I want to try drilling a hole in one piece and I want to try to wrap another piece in PMC. I learned a lot about how layering different types of glass creates different effects. Hopefully my next batch will turn out more like I had in mind.

PS. I also recently finished two other projects that I think are pretty cool but since they will be Christmas gifts I can't post pictures...but if you are interested in seeing them and you aren't family let me know and I can email them to you.
