I am curious... The metal mold doesn't seem to have any mold release on it. If not then how come the glass did not stick? Thanks again for all your information videos!

Wow

How did you connect the base?

Hi 🥰 really a fun way to make different shapes for further projects love the idea👍 have a wonderful and creative day Thanks for sharing

IT IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, they look great! I have the same kiln and would like to know what schedule to use. I’ve only been doing my own firing for 3 months using the pre-set programs.

Lisa, love your non traditional wreath using stringers & noodles? how many layers did you allow for your firing and anneal schedule?

I remember your video about bending strinkers but wouldn't have thought of using them like this. I always learn new things from creative you. 😀 I love your open air studio with planes flying into TPA, your neighbors (and their dogs), but my favorite creature is your noisy crows. They are extremely intelligent and interesting and I am avid lover. I'm a long time fan of yours and began following you, not just for glass, but because you live in Tampa. You see, I grew up in Plant City and kind of think of of you as a neighbor. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, skill, and especially, your creativity with all of us!! ❤️

Thank you for such an awesome video. I haven’t used my kiln on so long, and my notes are all packed up. You brought it all back for me. ❤

Sometimes doing a test firing is very valuable. I don't usually do test firings because I think of them as wasting time and glass but I recently did one because the design involved using really expensive Bullseye opal striker Plum (0332) glass and I wanted to find out how saturated a color it would produce. I have the choice of using a black base layer and plum or plum and a clear top layer for this design. I learned that I will choose the black base and plum because using the plum base and a clear top layer produced a lot of large bubbles even though I had a long bubble squeeze in the firing schedule as per the Bullseye suggested firing schedules. This is a learning process.

Awwww so disappointing for you, but as you say, it’s the only way to learn and thank you for sharing ❤

Interesting, yes your experiments, good and bad are great learning for us too. Thanks

PRETTY COLORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My kiln is octagon and I feel it holds me back. Just need a little more space

If you do it again, put a layer of clear powder in the middle so the thickness of the powder layer is the same throughout. Just an idea.

Good idea Marcia, cut out the middle…..worth a try

Can't you take some glass out of the middle? Then it'll look very wreath-like. Really nice video.

I made a few smaller ones, with COE 96. Tack fused, then slumped. They turned out beautifully, but the dicro frit didn’t soften. There are sharp points on all of the dichroic pieces. Any thoughts on how to prevent this next time?

Thank you for sharing! What is a floral former?

Beautiful !

Not only have I used sidewalk chalk for stuff like this, the egg shaped chalk flattened a tiny bit makes a great floral/mushroom drape form

I use square colored chalk and It doesn't loose its color.

I have even use square sidewalk chalk as dams for small things. It is a lot cheaper than having all the molds. I buy the molds when they go on sale. LOL Thanks Lisa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great video! If you rub a flat spot on your chalk it won"t roll away.

Glad you are doing this because I have used chalk a lot.

So fun. I’ve done it with string of glue over the chalk too. It helps. ❤❤ Lisa, I’d love to see you experiment with using enamel paints, like color line. PS I love to hear all of your birds too. And the rain, too.

So fun. I’ve done it with string of glue over the chalk too. It helps. ❤❤

Put a groove in the very first one they will stay between the groves. So glad to see you trying it. So glad to see you had a bunchof chalk to try. Looking forward to seeing my pieces and what you make with the stringers and noodles.

Great video!!!

Do you know how much sidewalk chalk I have here for my grands??? It's all going into the kiln for stringers😂😂😂

I'm still in the middle😅...I can't wait to see...

This video is fun!😊

THANKS LISA. SO MANY GREAT PROJECTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love a video on how to make the bubble drape vase! It is stunning!

is there a video on how you made the bowl at the end that looks like bubbles?

Would have loved to see the lamp complete with the electrical wiring in.

Lisa, thank you for sharing. I love the free-form mold designs! They truly are my favorite to create with. I am looking forward to trying the thinfire over the fiber blanket as well as creating a Glacier kind of bowl. It's very pretty! If I may ask you, in a 6" deep kiln, what is the deepest slump possible? I would greatly appreciate it! You are an inspiration. Thank you again 😊

How many layers of glass in the lampshade?

Beautiful. What IS the température with the frits please and also for slumping ?

Would love to try custom shapes.

How can I become Premium member؟

Thanks. Looking forward for more videos

My question is when making jewelry, does it mater which side of the dicrolyic is on top؟ the cotying؟ I love your channel and the way you teach. I bet you were a teacher before. Best of❤

Thanks Lisa! I'm getting ready to make some...couldn't find any water clear frit, so Im using my icicle clear. Hoping it's not too far off! I do have a question about the 2nd firing... it is only to 1265? Do you have a schedule for the firing? Thanks, always appreciate these projects!

Can you put medium frit and fine frit between pieces of glass?

Thank you Lisa. Such fun!!

very cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your students did great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS LISA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really interesting !!! 👍👍👍
