Holy cow, living in California I'm imagining my PG&E bill after running that kiln. I love the dichroic ripple ones...gorgeous.

[@water.dragon4442]

I ❤️ Bubbles...the Dicro with the white backgrounds are stunning and the crackle with Teal is beautiful 😍.

Great video and beautiful results. I only have a microwave kiln but I think I'm going to try a version of that.

Heya, Diane!

[@leilakirkdietzolsen6741]

Beautiful ❤️🇩🇰

[@wandacasson1813]

How much did it cost you to make them vs how much you se them for? Would it be cheaper to purchase the Cabochons already made? What is the difference in quality of hand made ones vs bought ones? How many do you sell and do you make all of them into pendants or other pieces of jewelry or just sell them plain? How do you determine how much to sell them and where do you sell them? For a beginner, would you recommend doing them by hand or purchasing or getting different rocks?

[@sherrybuit417]

Watching the replay.

[@amm7364]

Hello from Portugal. This is my first time seeing your tutorial. What kind of mold do you use? What are they made of? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.😊🇵🇹

[@lisacooper8240]

I would like to make my own glass cabs I was wondering about using a microwave kiln, I was also curious if a person could use mosaic colored glass pieces instead of the dichro glass

[@TheSeveth]

i so want to buy some of your glass cabochons but i live in Scarborough Ontario Canada and you don't deliver items ove here ,how do i get your beautiful cabochons

[@luminaowisp6437]

Do you use a release in your molds?

[@geansanders1233]

cool ,have you tried your Donna Dewberry painting yet?

[@tara3570]

Nice! What release chemical do you use on the ceramic molds?

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you! I use ZYP brand Boronitride aerosol mold release. I hope this is helpful to you!

[@illyariddell1032]

Did you make your own cab molds?

[@amm7364]

The machine you use is as those to “cook” porcelain? Thank you 😊

[@karenarmstrong8463]

Just beauties

[@kayshue682]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing! I’ve been fusing glass for about a year and still have so much to learn! How do you get your cabs so round? Was your stacked glass different sizes?

[@backtoearthcreations]

Heya, Kay! Thank you for your kindness! We've been fusing since May 2020, and I learn something new each time we run the kiln it seems! To get a rounder shape I try to stack to 9mm high, so three layers of 3mm thick glass, usually a base color, a dichro, then a piece of clear, and that makes the cab puddle out like a baked cookie. I get the most consistent results when the 3 pieces are similar size, but they don't have to be perfect. I hope this is helpful to you!

[@kayshue682]

@@backtoearthcreations Thank you for taking the time to reply Yvonne! That's helpful. Would you mind sharing your firing schedule? Your videos and explanations of things have been so helpful! Fuse on! 🤩

[@Emilycrochet]

Hello, I watched your video and I want to sign up for a package. I do not have PayPal. Can you please tell me how to do a one time . I am on a budget.

[@elizabethwatson71]
