Embossing Supplies in Fused Glass? Watch the Full Test and Review to Save Yourself Time and Money!

[@dondoyle111]

You just keep sparking my glass interest -thanks for your time and efforts

[@laurajones6486]

I so love your scientific thinking in all of this. We all need to do this kind of thing but of course we don’t. Just want to create. Thanks so much for taking all this time and sharing the info.

[@sharonemslie7542]

Thank you! You are always so enjoyable to watch, love your lessons and sharing! I am an old scrapbooker and have used the Versa Mark pad and pens in the past, along with the Pearl Ex powders... time to raid my scrapbook inventory and take it down to the Glass Studio! Thank you again!

[@maladylis08]

I've done this with enameling with regular embossing pens and pads. I used a lot of my stamps or just frit on a design I drew and it always worked great. Glad to see somebody else doing that on there glass.

[@samanthaadams8773]

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for all the effort you put into this - I am new to glass fusing and want to try powders but was wondering how to get it to stick - now I know! 🙏

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Have fun!

[@lindaclasson1088]

Thank you for so very generously sharing your research. I haven't tried embossing before but I feel a lot more confident adding it to my glass repertoire. I have had a project in mind that has been on hold until I could figure out how to draw crisp lines (my previous experiments weren't successful). So now I can go ahead with that project. Again, thanks for sharing all your hard work.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Best of luck to you!

[@lindaclasson1088]

@@JamaisonSchuler I'm using your link to order the pens and Versamark pad, and a few other things I found on your Amazon site. Good to have recommendations for products that are work well and are a good value. Thanks for that as well.

This is great. Thank you for doing this for us! I am making night lights right now and I can see this will be an interesting application. Thanks again.

Thank you for all of this useful information !! I've learned so many things today, I can't tell you how happy it makes me !! I've been "playing" with glass and enamels for about 20yrs. now and have been experimenting quite a lot. I can't wait to try this technique !

[@paulamccoy]

Awesome video Jamaison! Thanks for all your hard work. I will give this a try!

[@angi6373]

That's great. Thank you. I've got some of those perfect pens and mica in my stash. I bit of play time is needed.

[@JustaMonicker]

Hi Jamaison! Thank you for all your sharing to the glass community. I love my CFEs and am excited to try the pens with them. I want to try painting with them, fire it, then using a pen to outline the painting... curious to see if I could get a nice definition that way. I'll post any tests I do. Thanks again!

[@pattiporco8598]

Thanks, Jamaison. Great test! I have the versamark pad and just bought the pens that Tabitha used. Now I have something to compare.

[@dlarson9850]

Excellent video. So much information. I have many Colors for Earth so I better get busy. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jamaison Thnk u fr the comprehensive testing n video. I too have been testing the white pen n brush w various powders, n got excited enough to look into buying a test set of paula McCoy's enamels. Now uve done the wrk fr me. I dont have to continue testing. Thnks a million. Love ur videos

[@shirleyjones2345]

Ranger used to make Perfect Medium in a stamp pad, and a little bottle of "stuff," to reload the stamp pad. I had used the RPM pad and refill for years, but can no longer find them. I've switched over to squeegee oil.

[@georgiawells5372]

Fabulous, so valuable, loved it, now going to have a play with the embossed pens myself. Thank you.

[@FullMoonLoonDesigns]

Love your tests! Thank you for sharing. I’ve used Versamark in the past with mica and it worked well. Look into the mica powders that Kaiser Glass sells, I have several colors and they all fire nicely. Love those pigment colors you used. Great video!

[@gbleimeyer3659]

Jamison, you are one step ahead of me. Waiting for my mica selection to show up. Ordered from Dennis Brady. It is hanging around LA since 7/1. Argh!

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I use a few micas in this one!

[@suz6373]

Great video! I like the fine lines of the Wow pen. And the makeup brush tip was awesome... thank you soooo much!!!

[@kennaboyer1489]

Thank you for a great video! I appreciate the time you take to experiment. I bought a Versamark pad quite a while back and never opened it! Now I will have to give it a try!

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Don’t wait!

[@acprive]

Thank you for the video. I’ve been wanting to try these. I went to your Amazon store for product details and placed a big order. Just an FYI, get the information then search Amazon yourself if you are in Canada. If you follow your links we are nailed with shipping and brokerage fees. This way I get free shipping through prime.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Wow, that stinks about the brokerage fees and shipping!

[@fulfilledwishesdesign]

Awesome as always! Have tried these with Mica before and didn't have much luck - am inspired to try again, maybe with enamels too . Thank you :)

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I think we forget the value of testing/ samples. I’m sure you learned something?

[@wendymorowitz8756]

Thank you so much for the video. Now I know what to do with some of my scrapbooking supplies like all the stamps and versa Mark I have . Embossing powder for scrap booking typically being heated. I wonder if that would work on glass. I done this process before with powdered frit and it works beautifully. Depending on the color I’ve done capped and not capped. Thank you I’m going to try the enamel.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I don’t have any embossing powders but you should try and see!

[@mareedawson7019]

They look great. Well done

[@lauradavis6934]

Thank you I will give this a try. Can you recommend a an enamel thin tip marker Thank you

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Sorry, these are the only ones I’ve tested

[@terrygarner7656]

Thanks for this comparison - very interesting and informative!!

[@MariaTuccori]

Thanks Jamaison for doing all the work for us. Great video. I am made some of my own stamps to use with the versa pad. Not sure if I should do capped or uncapped. I don't like the rough feeling of Mica when it is on the surface. Maybe my firing schedule? I was thinking of fusing two pieces of 3mm full fused, then adding the mica and putting in a slump schedule. Any thoughts?? Thanks! BTW, I'm a former Texas that hailed from SA.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I’m not sure mica would ever be fully smith on the surface but maybe cap it with a bit of clear powder? Not sure a slump schedule would be enough to get the mica to fuse in? Run some experiments and see!

[@MariaTuccori]

@@JamaisonSchuler thanks for your thoughts. I will try a few things :) much appreciated.

[@brendapeel814]

Hi Jamaison, I just love watching your videos. I am brand new to fusing, started in September. I have learned so much from your videos, so thank you for offering these for free. Question, I have so many. Anyway, I really like making landscape pieces. I am looking for a way to make tree branches. These powders seem to have promise for the smaller tree branches. I am wondering do you have any experience with modeling glass? This seems like it would work to make the tree trunks more organic with dimension. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I’m sorry, I don’t have any experience with modeling glass, but I agree that could be a good solution!

[@brendapeel814]

@@JamaisonSchuler ok, thank you for responding.

[@marywhitnell2839]

Ho thanks for this. Was the copper carbonate capped?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Yes, definitely. Bubble material must be capped.

[@jokappel2430]

Before I discovered fused glass I worked with paper, made cards etc. So I had played with the sticky pens and micas a lot. I make my tails on clear glass, two layers, that way I can try it on top of any color of glass to see how it shows. I also used a heat gun to dry the adhesive and powders so I could try adding a second coat.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Love the heat gun tip! Thanks!

[@gillcottam8152]

Brilliant.thank you for all your hard work ,very cool very helpful👍

[@celweb2]

How did you decided which ones to cap?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Based on directions and experience… bubble products must be capped to make bubbles. Dezigners must be capped per instructions or they wipe right off. I do not believe the glass frit powder would have been any more concentrated capped.

So I tested EZ fire and that worked well. The darker colors were absolutely better. I also bought a Mica from Michael’s and the copper worked well. Colors for a G series also worked, but not Super bright. Black Foodie enamel from AAE glass worked very well.
