Stripey Bowl Fuse

One of the things I wanted to make before the end of the semester was an old fashioned stripey bowl. My attempt went a little awol, but I decided I like it better this way anyway, because when everything is fused together in the final step, people can figure out how you did straight lines, but curvy lines are more confusing.

4) 20 min ↓ 390°

5) 30 min ↓ 50°

The initial fuse granted those crazy wavy lines, the second fusing was to put those colored lines together with the sheet of clear glass that's underneath it.

First Enamel Test

This is my first ever enamel test. I was given the program, and it was horrible - 800 is far, far too high.

Two of the green glass photos feature leaves; the yellow features an attempt to stamp with grapefruit, and the fourth features a range of textures, the top is broccoli, the middle is blackberries and bottom is strawberries!

The enamel test itself was fun, I used kiwi, grapefruit, strawberries, blackberries, broccoli, and leaves.
