Thank-you for directing us newbees to the Laurie Sprays (and other artists and suppliers) out there. I appreciate how free you are to credit others with techniques and ideas. Your videos are inspirational, but also practical. I have saved untold time and money by virtually experimenting along side you. Keep showing both successes and failures!

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Thank you so much!

[@lolomorr6563]

Laurie has cool supplies. Thanks for sharing. Enjoying your videos.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Yes she does! Already planning my next order! LOL

[@3PairDesigns]

Very cool Jamaison! Thanks for sharing! 👍😊

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Thanks for watching!

[@alexandraeglezos6779]

This is so beautiful! I love the thick glass look and it looks so good viewing it from the side. I'm definitely going to try this. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@alkiezrus]

That looks fantastic and a great use of scraps.

[@debraberg1763]

Impressive. I'm transfixed by the pattern. Who wouldn't enjoy that on the coffee table. I'm jealous of how you made something so beautiful out of nothing.

[@dlarson9850]

I happened to use your firing schedule for my strip plate. Worked absolutely perfect. Guess I’ll send a pick in messenger. Thanks once again.

[@Dulcilady]

Very beautiful. Especially liked when you put it on the light table.

[@anitafaulkner6312]

You are great! Very honest and most of all talented!

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Oh thank you! ❤️

[@nancyf317]

Thank you for your video. I have plenty of scraps and I have Laurie's former.....the look and feel of the different heights is fantastic.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Sounds like you are ready to go!!!

[@mimifowler886]

@@JamaisonSchuler beautiful. I am going to try this...your work is great

[@caronspencer6363]

Loved this. That looked like soo much fun!!

[@sherrimayhew7089]

That's really an awesome on-edge type piece!

[@gailkops5644]

Absolutely love this - it also has a luster to it! Thanks for sharing that idea.

[@bethsherbert7862]

Awesome video!

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jessicahockenberry132]

Very nice result. I really enjoy watching your videos showing trials, errors and just plain fun experimenting with glass. I have 2 rings from Laurie. I have just fused my 2nd strip bowl and am waiting for it to cool down.

[@philcox2845]

Thats wonderful. I did something similar to this one with turquiose blue and clear glass. Tack fused. That came out beautifully too.

[@nancymckenzie3258]

Love this! The bubbles were also awesome!

[@stormyhaverkate6573]

Wowza! What a super cool project! Thanks for sharing.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Thanks Stormy!

[@acprive]

Beautiful. Nice colors

[@vrothery50]

I just bought some vitrigraph supplies from her - cant wait to give it a try! I also bought the fiber paper on a roll - what a great idea - love your project - beautiful!

[@jenniferfragomeni8064]

Beautiful, I need to try this with my scraps!

[@beckyholub7467]

Just started working with glass and love this!

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I’m going to make another one today!

[@lillyheyns2263]

Thanks!

[@janen2683]

Thank you!

[@lisamiller6794]

This turned out beautiful! We fusers/stained glass artist have thousands and thousands of dollars of glass and supplies in our studio’s. Have you ever just priced your studio and what we have spent over the years. I did and just my kilns $6500 furniture $1200 molds $2300 glass galore I lost count 😄 I’m a huge glass/supply hoarder! I just feel like I have to have everything new out there but I don’t really need it. You have inspired me to shop discount /thrift stores for ceramics and stainless steel molds. Also Thank you sooo much for sharing your videos with us and for helping me save lots of money 😉💕

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Yes! It is inherently expensive so I try to be frugal wherever I can!!! There are some things I spend money on out of convenience (like the higher price of Zyp and shelf papers) but try to find cost savings elsewhere!

[@elainefuehrer5739]

this looks great.. u posted on your site about your lap sander, cant find your post on it. what size is it.. and does it meet your needs?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I bought the 8” version and I think I love it more and more every day. Last week I used it to polish glass with cerium oxide for the first time. Need more practice but that worked well! hitechdiamond.com/products/slant-cabber-glass-crystal-model?aff=53

[@denlarson6966]

Excellent project. Do you sell more time on your web sight? Lol

[@carolyncross6501]

Cool... what sizes are you glass strips?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

About 6mm, or 1/4”

[@kimberlypeterson5370]

Where did you get the digital device to measure the thickness of glass?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Amazon. Just search for digital calipers

[@sharonschultz8876]

I thought glass wouldn't fuse if just touching and not overlapping.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Two 3mm single layers just touching side by side would pull away from each other. Perhaps that’s what you are thinking?
