The dichro came out so pretty - I was surprised how much of the sparkle held with the full fuse. Left is tack, right is full.

Love how all the ribbons came out with both firings, and I want to do something bigger with ribbons and a little more involved, but I am still not sure which approach I want to take.

Also smashed up my frit puddle and completely forgot to take a single picture, but those will be pretty dots/cabochons next week.

Did the puddles with this aventurine* green and blue and clear. The stacks are clear/green/clear/blue/clear/green/clear. They’ll become bowls eventually.

*Which I am realizing I have been spelling “adventurine” at least 50% of the time and not even noticing.

Here are the puddles before smashing! Both of my instructors wondered why I’d done such big ones - usually we do ones from 3x3 inch stacks - then I explained that I needed ~46 ounces of glass for the two bowls, it all made sense.

Post-smashing! Half went into the 8 inch round, the other will be fired into cabs and those will go into a round next week. I realize it’s probably going to be overwhelmingly green - and that’s OK - I mean, oh no, a pretty sparkly color I really like!

I had to fiddle a bit with the lighting on these pics cause I took the pics once they were already in the kiln and the lighting wasn’t great there.

I love how this came out! It's hard to see in the photo, but the clear layers in the puddles gave it so much depth! And the blue pops out here and there so nicely - you can see it more in the close up.

Had to grind off some spiky bits on the edges, and it's going through for another round in the kiln to see if it spreads a bit more and to get the ground down bits smoother.

Ready for slumping.
