100 - 700° - 0
AFAP - 100° - off
Drape:
150 - 1100° - :20
150 - 1200° - :15

Love the newer use of the snowflakes! This bowl is stunning!

[@janasyring]

it continues to surprise me! I was on pinterest, saw the bowl, clicked on it... and imagine... your video came up! Your glass projects are my favorite!

[@tjs7937]

My kitten tipped over my display for a Christmas show. Broke 15 of the snowflakes. This is a great idea to salvage them into something pretty. Thanks!

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Aw, bad kitty!!! 🐱

Love your journey thanks so much for sharing with us!! ❤

[@treefroglyn]

Once again you nailed it! Is March and I’m thinking snowflakes now! Thanks again!

[@FullMoonLoonDesigns]

Jamison this is great! Thank you for sharing! I’m going to share your video as well, great use of the snowflakes!

[@lindacondray7918]

Opaline Striker Frit also works very nicely for these snowflakes. It gives a sort of moonstone blue cast to the flakes.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Great idea!

[@lynevans6605]

Got so excited I ordered 4 of the molds. Can’t wait to get them!

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Yay!!!

[@paigelust4108]

I really appreciate your sharing your learning with us! I could have sworn you did a video similar to this but draped it on a half round sconce mold to use as a candle screen kind of thing….am I loosing my mind? Thanks

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I did do that too. I don’t remember doing it as a video, maybe just posting some photos?

[@paigelust4108]

That’s probably it. I figured I’d use the firing schedule for the bowl. Thanks

[@AnnetteRintelmann]

That is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mariericci9814]

I love this!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

[@brendareagan8866]

what Dome mold do you recommend to Drape for a bowl? Thanks!

[@annettewagner2562]

Hi Jamaison, I have a question regarding draping the bowl. I purchased a stainless steel bowl from IKEA. Do I place the bowl upside down or face up for the glass to create the bowl? Thank you.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I placed the bowl upside down and balanced the glass on top.

[@Joapple11]

Lovely!

[@pamelakunkel5408]

love this. Do you ever have spikey edges to your snow flakes?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Very rarely. I’m usually careful to dust the frit into a heap in the middle of the mold channels, and I take my snowflakes to 1330° and hold for a full hour. I like those results the best. I can easily take care of any occasional spikes with a small diamond file.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I just added a new video showing how I make my snowflakes. You might check it out!

[@elainefuehrer5739]

nice, really nice, so i looked up the molds made by the Colour De Verre, and they are a bit cheaper than Delphi

[@seawatchofvilano5055]

Did I hear you correctly? you just draped this over a stainless steel bowl from IKEA? And if so, what diameter did you use. Those snow flakes fit perfectly. Your videos are so helpful!

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Hi there! Yes, this was an IKEA stainless steel bowl that I sprayed with ZYP boron nitride spray first. The bowl was about 8”?

[@seawatchofvilano5055]

@@JamaisonSchulerThank you. I'm very new to this and I can't tell you how helpful your videos are. Learning every day and I love it!

[@JamaisonSchuler]

The best way to make sure your bowl is big enough is to flip the bowl and trace the rim onto your paper and work within that outline. No measuring!

[@rayanfowler1890]

Jamaison - This popped up on the feed today and I rewatched the video. First this is a great way to use the smaller snowflakes without holes. I also use fishing wire and loop them between two stems. My question is why are you going so slow on the drape? I have made votive candle holders with the bigger snowflakes but have always gone much faster on the way up. Just curious. Rayan

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I think if I were doing one snowflake, I’d go faster too. But because this is so intricate with many many different intersections, I felt a slower, more conservative ramp wouldn’t be a bad idea. Might be an overly cautious schedule, but better safe than sorry? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@rayanfowler1890]

@@JamaisonSchuler thanks. You are a more conservative fuser. I push the envelope a lot 😃

[@lornasaner1130]

How do you get the ZIP residue off the back?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

lorna saner hmmmm.... mine didn’t pick up any Zyp. 🤷🏻‍♂️

fiber paper works great for a hole within mold.

Super cool and beautyfull

[@nildapennington4407]

Please Where can I get one I want to purchase the snowflake bowl .

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I’m sorry, this one was created quite a while ago and is already sold.

[@samanthamc5074]

@@JamaisonSchuler how much did you sell it for? It's a lovely piece. I just recently found your videos and subscribed after getting a glass kiln yesterday. You've got me super excited to start experimenting!! Bonus question, how much do you sell a single snowflake ornament for?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

@@samanthamc5074 gosh, price is so wildly subjective depending where you live, clientele, etc. I don’t recall but probably sold for about $79? I sell my single snowflakes for about $25

[@twylahcampbell2277]

Hey! Did I see a “hole” between snowflakes in the finished piece? Was that hole there before fusing and/or after your 1st firing? I swear I didn’t see it in the contour fuse. I love the bowl, what a great Christmas gift! But I was just curious about the “void/hole” lol

[@JamaisonSchuler]

@@twylahcampbell2277 yup, it was there. That snowflake had a broken tip when I made the bowl
