Fish Bowl Project

Ingredients:

One fish bowl precut (available in 3mm or 6mm) I used 3mm for this project

Frit of your choice for sand. I used chestnut opal brown medium.

Small clear dots for bubbles

Frit balls or Glassline for eyes

Sea life precuts 

(This collection is also available in 90 COE)

Thinfire shelf paper

 

Recipe using 96 COE Glass:

Arrange the sea life precuts as desired on Thinfire shelf paper. Note that the escaping goldfish is two layers. Important: Make sure that your glass is squeaky clean. I wash in dish soap, rinse in hot water and then handle with gloves. 

I did not glue up for this project. Always really check the project in the kiln to make sure that no pieces shifted during transfer.
