Fused glass powder topped scrap plate

[@stephensims1566]

I tried my own version of this using a 15cm circle as a base and it worked really well. It was fully fused and then slumped in a flat base mould. Thank you for sharing it.

Thanks Lena! What a great way to use up scraps which I'm sure many of us have plenty of! :)

Do you have a firing schedules available

[@kathiekarancz964]

Love it! Thanks 🐢

[@martaprigoshin7746]

What is the commercial name of the powder? I am in Argentina, I have to find it here if it's available. Thanks.

[@lenabeckeus6322]

Hello Maria, I used Bullseye glass. But, I think you can try to do this in other types of glass like float or system 96. Are you working with float? Then I would try Thompson enamel or Optul on top.

[@melaniehamilton7037]

Could you please explain what you mean by all the segments in the fusing schedules?

[@lenabeckeus6322]

I am not sure I understand your question, the segments are in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, C for Celsius, F for Fahrenheit

[@lenabeckeus6322]

Segment 1 (Full fuse schedule) 222°C per hour until 600°C is reached, hold on this temperature (600°C) for 1 hour

[@jimgreene4923]

You might add a different color under the circle of glass so those watching can see better

[@lenabeckeus6322]

Thank you for your suggestion

I Love this!!!!

[@irenecase1933]

I didn’t know the powder you were using was red. It looked so different fired I assumed it was another sample.

[@lenabeckeus6322]

I wrote transparent red, and garnet red in the text, I think you missed that. Powders are always lighter than bigger frit or sheet glass.

[@NC-uh9ud]

Beautiful. How does the white around the edges form?

[@lenabeckeus6322]

Because the powder ball up and shrink during the firing

[@lenabeckeus6322]

The "white" is clear - the edges of all clear pieces

[@irenecase1933]

was the clear a striker. Or is the red dish not the same as the sample you were working?

[@lenabeckeus6322]

No, it wasn´t a striker. I sifted red glass powder (and charcoal grey), as I show in the video on top of the clear pieces

[@juliebergacker5680]

Awesome👍😱

Are your firing schedules on ur web site? Lovely work!!

[@lenabeckeus6322]

Thank you. No, under my name you see a "show more" button - push it and you will find them.

[@sgrant6362]

Lena, how did the edges of the clear turn white?

[@lenabeckeus6322]

It isn´t white, it is clear. it is the edges of the small pieces without sifted powder which are without any colors

[@bentebrunsvelt319]

Beautyfull 👍👍

[@lenabeckeus6322]

Ben Tebrunsvelt, thank you

[@paulinemasuhr2757]

Did you spray any hair spray over the frit powder, or was it not necessary? Any cold working needed?

[@lenabeckeus6322]

No, no hair spray, no cold working. I don´t do anything which I don´t show you (or tell) in the video

[@robertojuliao5501]

[@carenscruffy1580]

thanks

[@robetb1]

Why didn't you use a circle cutter?

[@lenabeckeus6322]

Sorry, I do not understand your question. Do you mean the circles in the middle? They are too small for an ordinary circle cutter

[@lenabeckeus6322]

I used a circle cutter for the large circle which I glued the small pieces to

[@viviancutler3918]

Must we use all transparents for this process? Or can we use opals? Thank You!!!!

[@lenabeckeus6322]

No, opals will work. Other shapes on the scrap is also fine

[@viviancutler3918]

@@lenabeckeus6322 Great!!! Thank You!!!!

[@pbabbitt1012]

I have only used that much glue one time and it caused bubbles and bulges all over my piece. Never again!

[@viviancutler3918]

You don't spray the piece with water at all right? Thanks so much

No, I don´t

[@lorihanson5651]

Love the result. Your video is nauseous to watch. A bit of high speed forward or stopping tape to complete a step would be more enjoyable to watch & still get your technique across. I've never made an instructional video, but know how I enjoy watching them. Your plate turned out gorgeous. Now, I need to get back to finishing your video.

[@lenabeckeus6322]

You can use the cogwheel to either slow down or speed up the video. Sorry, you think it is nauseous, but at least you get a technique for free. (And I used the highest speed possible in some part in iMovie)
