Here it is, ready for the first firing!
I also got back the plaid plate after slumping, and the white/mixed color puddle, and the bottle melts, but I didn't get pics in the classroom and there's no good lighting right now, will post tomorrow.
The plaid plate! I definitely should have used clear stringers in between the colors, but I still like it! Love all the little bubbles and can't wait to do another one.
It's going to get a slump fuse, too.
The stringer displacement after the slump - came out really nice. The one corner where it was a little folded straightened out for the most part and I doubt I'll even notice it the next time I look at it.
This is going to be another frit puddle - I'm curious to see if the whites and blues with the splashes of red & orange will end up looking a bit like an opal when it's broken up.
My instructor was not kidding when she said she knew the perfect mold to use for this - it's exactly how I wanted it to look. Couldn't be happier with this one.
The firing from the sea blue, clear, and adventurine blue. Love them!
The cabochons from the frit puddles - they are so pretty!
Got the bubble/plaid plate assembled - as soon as I got the two pieces of glass sandwiched together, I realized I probably should have left some empty slots in between the colors - but it’s all good, I will know for next time. (And I’m definitely doing more of these - I have a lot of stringers and a love of plaid.)
And also got my frit puddle smashed up, too - the frit stretched a lot and I’d say I didn’t expect it, except I had no idea what to expect, LOL, but I like it!
Finally got around to smashing up the puddle I put together in the first week at open studio this week - loving these blues and the clear streaks.
