Kiln Carved Irid Platter

[@aleja3051]

Muy buen trabajo Gracias ❤

[@sherrirowan5049]

I found that a cheap foam brush works well to get the powder in place and keep the glass clean as well. ❤

This so so cool! Thank you!

Just got my kiln carved irid platter out of my kiln. I love it. Thank you for sharing the process with us. I did try to use hair spray to glue the strips on and I probably did not wait long enough for it to dry Sure enough when I flipped the glass over it all fell apart. I picked up the pieces and redid it with the Elmer’s glue. I let it dry overnight and it worked great

Paula Bashforth I’m so glad you like it

[@debibrown7975]

I love watching you. I’m new at this and it’s definitely a learning process.

Fab project! A random tip for powder - I have some nail art fan brushes that I use all the time to move powder about. They are very soft and great for clearing up small areas on the desk (to save power) or move it on a project. They are very cheap on eBay.

Jade Hamnett thanks, great to know

I have enjoyed quite a few of your videos. This is a very knowledgeable display of irid and carving really appreciate the effort you've gone to.

[@3PairDesigns]

Soooo pretty and unique, I love it! Nicely done!

[@annwilson4378]

I love kiln carving. I have not worked every much with arid glass.

[@marykozlowski8999]

FANTASTIC videos, Tabitha!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these and share your knowledge! I followed your directions and my project came out PERFECT! I was a little nervous about the water holding the black frit in the cracks. But it all came out great. I sprayed my water instead of using a dropper.

[@denisepresland6081]

This is fantastic looking. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@burruelam]

I love your videos. I made my own and I love how it turned out. Thanks for all the ideas!

[@elainefuehrer5739]

How pretty! love it. also like your necklace.. thank u. i find several of my work with huge bubbles that i need to drill holes into to get to flatten out. I dont want to waste my piece or glass.

[@TabithasGlassEmporium]

Elaine Fuehrer Thank you for your kind comment. I’m sorry about your bubbles, have you checked your kiln shelf, I’ve heard that can be the trouble.

[@stevenappleford9376]

Fabulous videos I love them can you tell me what glue do you use please

[@juliealdridge8484]

Thanks for sharing this technique, I have watched quite a few of your videos and learnt so much from them. Will try this with some IRID I have. I have used it wrongly the right way up and it burnt off😰

[@anne-marieandersson3863]

Hi, Tabitha; thanks so much for making this look so easy!I love this and can't wait to try it. Question about the cracking in the irid: is there anything that could be done to avoid that happening?

[@TabithasGlassEmporium]

No, unfortunately it’s hard for it not to.

[@oboea2d1]

Tabitha, When you have a "1" in the 2nd and 3rd section of the slumping schedule, does it mean 1 minute, or 1 hour? Looking at the Full section of the firing schedule, the 1 says 1 hour. I assume that is what the Full means in the slumping schedule, but what about holding at 1240....1 minute seems rather short and I assume that it should be 1 hour. I wanted to check with you before I got to that stage. I love this project....I can't wait to see if mine turns out as cool as yours! Thanks....I watch every one of your videos and learn so much.

[@TabithasGlassEmporium]

Yes it means 1 hour. Thank you for your kind words

[@amyturvill515]

hi, thanks again :) Great ideas, could you just tell me about the glue you use? thanks again

[@TabithasGlassEmporium]

Glastac jel bullseye

[@Bxmt54]

At the very end when you are ready to slump it you say something that sounds like spirit going in top of it...what is it that you do or did I misunderstand what you said?

[@TabithasGlassEmporium]

Sue Hill when Im slumping I always use a spirit level to make sure all my moulds are level before I use them.

[@Bxmt54]

Thanks for writing back...this is going to be my next project!
