When I do freeze and fuse, I have to schedule about two full days and I just work every mold I think I might want for awhile. It is labor intensive and time consuming, but it is so worth the effort. Love our channel. You are an amazing artist! I see myself as a glass crafter, not a glass artist. You are an artist!

[@backtoearthcreations]

Wow, thank you!! I am still just bumping around figuring things out

[@winterwhitechocolate]

@@backtoearthcreations I hear ya, my fingernails are a disaster! BTW, to help prevent the cracking, letting the pieces dry slower and using Papyrus brand paper, instead of Thin Fire, might help. I have had very good luck with that. I had the worse cracking when I left a fan on in my studio and my kiln lid was open. I won't do that again. I am still very new to fused glass, I only got my kiln in May of 2021, so not even a year yet. but I LOVE it! I have borrowed a couple of your ideas for casting cabs for pendants. I hope you don't mind. The colors you used were so pretty! And using the double thick glass on top made it so there were no bubbles. Thank you for that one!!

[@embertheelder]

I would watch the heck out of a "kiln cooking with Vonne" show. =p

[@tahlia077]

I just started experimenting with freeze and fuse last week and had been looking at some moon molds on Amazon lol - the technique has a lot of fun possibilities and I’ve seen some really beautiful, detailed final products :)

[@backtoearthcreations]

Right on! I am just starting out with it, and am so excited at the possibilities!

[@skilly1845]

The lasagna pan on top of the kiln is one of the reasons I love this channel so much! you are so fun to watch and learn from!

[@sandrastacy5777]

I just started in the club and love your videos and tutorials!

[@backtoearthcreations]

Right on! Thank you for your support!!

[@staceyahern3158]

OMG! Am I understanding correct that now there's another substance like glass easier than resin to deal with and it looks like glass too it seems. .... interesting..... CAN'T wait!♡♡♡♡¤♡♡♡♡¤♡♡♡♡¤♡♡♡♡

[@JoyParis215]

It is actually glass that she's working with. It's just grinded down to a powder.

[@Wedoozit]

Super 😎. Love the shades of blue.

[@photofreak74]

I think on the ones with a crease if you put a gold paint or something it could allow it to look like that oriental art of fixing broken pottery, Kintsugi.

[@backtoearthcreations]

Oh that is such a cool idea!!

[@arielroxi]

Wow, what a cool technique. I love learning new things. This looks fun.

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you 🤗

[@pamiejo7778]

thank you so much for all the zooming you do. i really need it tysm for all the help !!

[@Kalissa313]

I loooooveeee this particular moon shape you have!

[@TheSeveth]

you so make me smile and ty i learned how to make the tree of life with a moon in it from you hun again ty so very much

[@dionicia12]

Love the colors. It's good you found another solution for glass moons. It looks like Hydrocal can be used to make glass molds too. That might help with making more molds in the future.

[@backtoearthcreations]

Right on! I will have to check that out! Having reuseable moons molds this size would be soo nice!!!

[@sturkiestercreations]

So cool. First time I've ever seen this. Had no idea 🤭

[@kristibbradshaw]

You can wick off the water with a folded paper towel.

[@rosalienellartglass]

I’ve never waited for them to dry before fusing the FNF stuff! Interesting! I’ll have to test both ways🙂

[@bethrobinson-donovan8486]

Nice! So nice

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thanks, Bethie!

[@secretsofpool]

Thin but SUPERDURABLE 🔥

[@EricaEvers]

Interesting!

[@backtoearthcreations]

[@anaabendroth3460]

Were all of these added to your shop today? Cuz I don't see them. I see others, that are mottled gray-ish, is that how they turn out after firing?

[@backtoearthcreations]

These haven't been added to the shop yet; they will be part of this coming Monday's shop update

[@azinfandellvr]

Gorgeous 😍

[@wendygliddon3350]

Yvonne what COE do you use?

[@sacrebleu1371]

☕🥰 This is exciting!

[@sounds.like.onomatopoeia]

I applaud you for using *left over kiln heat* for cooking but remember, food IN the kiln is not a good idea.

[@backtoearthcreations]

hehe, I've got that much down! :p

[@kathynoll4634]

These were too cool! 🌔🌖🌘🌒🌝🌛🌜🌙🌌
