This is such a fun project. You'll learn to make pretty blue bubbles using copper oxide powder. You'll then decorate and fuse you blank and then slump it onto a wave mold. Ingredients: Two pieces of clear glass cut approximately 10x4 for the wave mold or cut to size for a plate. Material for the sandy bottom (I used a rolled edge from another sheet, but frit also works) Decorative elements (fish) of your choosing Paint (I used Color Line black) or frit balls for the eyesCopper Oxide Powder (Need copper oxide? I'll gladly send some for free with a $25+...

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...

My inspiration for this project was my childhood bedroom. I love the color mix of almond, persimmon and lemongrass, but you can decorate your boards any way you wish. You can't see it from the photographs, but the design elements "float" and cast shadows because they're on the top layer. 6x8" almond 6x8" clear Design elements: I used various sizes of Colorado River Rock and squares that I cut into 1/4" pieces. The lines were 1/4" by 3". See the cutting example below.   Assemble: base clear design elements (I glued only the tic tac toe lines) Fuse to desired...

Start by cutting squares. 3", 2 1/2", 2", 1 1/2" (If you cut four each you'll get eight trees) Now cut those squares in half diagonally to make triangles. Starting with the largest triangle, cut the tips off. The tip of the largest triangle is used for the top of the tree and measures about 3/4" tall.   Run a line of glue along the top edge. I don't normally glue up projects like these, but they'll want to slide. Place the next largest on top of the base piece and continue until you'll assembled your tree. Add a small...

What you'll need 2 square feet of compatible glass (I used 96 Icicle because I like the icy look) 1/8" Fiber Paper Cookie Cutters & an ink pad (optional) Instructions: Cut glass into 4x4" squares. You'll need two for each coaster. Dip the cookie cutter into the ink pad and stamp onto your 1/8" fiber paper, or just make your own designs. Hint: You'll want to make each design take up about the same amount of space so that the coasters will retain about the same size once fused. I just eye-ball these. It doesn't have to be too scientific....
