Melting Wings- This is a little sneak peak of what it looks like inside my kiln while the glass is melting. This is the second time these pieces were melted. The first melting was to bind the dichroic glass (the glass I carve the designs out of that have the color) and the clear glass. This melting is after I had saw and shape each piece. The grinding process I use to shape them leaves the edges rough and hazy so I perform a partial melting which is what is happening here. This keeps the glass at a temperature just long enough to start melting it. The end result is a smooth, rounded and polished edge on each piece. You can find my work for sale here!If you enjoyed this little tidbit on my process please let me know or better yet give it a share! I live off my glass work and spreading the word is some of the greatest support you can give! If I find people enjoy and are interested in these I will make more posts like this! Thanks all! -- source link
