Ep. 195 FINISHING THE GLASS PORTION WITH CUSTOM FUSED GLASS ON MY PERSONAL LANDSCAPE MOSAIC!

Ep. 195 FINISHING THE GLASS PORTION WITH CUSTOM FUSED GLASS ON MY PERSONAL LANDSCAPE MOSAIC!
Hey Everyone! Welcome to my studio!
0:07 A look at where I left off on my personal landscape mosaic based on the Landscape of Dunwoody mosaic. I have a bit of fused foliage left to do. I am using Silicone adhesive for the glass portion on this mosaic.
0:25 I have cut up a few fused pieces that didn't fit and I will re-fuse them to round out the edges in the kiln.
1:08 It only take a few minutes to load the kiln since I don't need much to finish up.
1:56 Ah, the transition swaths under the trees. I talk about my strategy with them.
2:32 I proceed to cut and adhere the transition swath under the trees in a crazy paving way.
3:39 The next day I open the kiln and wohoo! I wash them and get them on the mosaic. T'here is a bit of room to add the smaller pieces as needed. Then I work on the transition swath again.
5:13 I'm talking about the rounds here! I refer back to panel 1 on the Landscape of Dunwoody to see what we used (it's been 6 months since we did this panel!)
6:02 I start by cutting some fusible glass into strips for the base glass. I use the grid as a guide. I cut a bunch of strips and squares.
7:35 I stop and fix my scoring tool because the end came off! It just needs to be screwed back on. Then I load the kiln, stacking the larger squares and adding bits of contrasting color on top. Some I leave as is so we will have some plain ones to use as well.
9:32 They are ready for the kiln. That took about 2 hours to prep!
10:35 It's the next day and they came out great! So pretty!
10:57 I attempt to show the difference between the different stacking techniques.
11:35 I ended up sorting them by color so I could choose a nice range.
12:06 I decide not to use the inclusions on the sun rays area.
That's Putting It Together Ep. 195. Thanks for watching! See you next time.

Love the little Frits you made! ❤

[@mazzonimosaics8222]

Right?!? They are so pretty! Who knows what will do with the extras.

[@DenGio55]

It would be wonderful if your fused pieces were available on your Etsy shop! I doubt I will ever own a kiln, nor have your expertise in creating such beauty!

[@mazzonimosaics8222]

That's a great idea! If I ever get around to it, maybe I'll put my extras on there.

Do you sell these fused pieces? I'd love to buy some!!!

[@mazzonimosaics8222]

lol. I am not in the fuse glass business. Check Etsy. There are lots of fused artists selling similar things.
