I've had some black and white fused glass puddle cabochons for ages. Always wondered what to do with them and now was the time. Of course, a platter. What else should a fused glass artist make?
Plenty, actually. But I decided a platter would be cool. I hope you enjoy this project tutorial and please let me know your thoughts..

Beautiful. I love when things don’t go as planned and you figure a way to get it done!

So true! There is usually an answer and often it turns out great, if not better.

With all those steps, fusings and sandblastings, you’re a lot more patient than I am, Jeff. I loved following your processes to get to the beautiful end result. Although I prefer bright coloured pieces, your dark colour choices worked perfectly together. 😊 I always look forward to your experiments to think outside the box. 💡

I really like the color combination & variation with the matte & gloss.

@RocketRoseArt Ай бұрын

I also think the variation between the finishes and the patterns make the piece. It's dark, but it works.

I liked the final piece, looks smart. You make great use of that sand blaster. Took a lot of firings, but I guess that was due to ironing out a few issues. Well done on sticking with it and getting a nice piece in the end.

Hi Jonathan. Yes, a few firings, but had to do them and I think it was worth it.

Thanks Michelle. You're right. The textures and patterns are very interesting and it keeps growing on me.

When slumping bottles sometimes the smaller parts of the bottle or the tight edges create very sharp edges. I have an electric Rigid oscillating sander that also spins at high speed when not using it as a sander. I start with 80 grit and clean up the edge, then bring it back to a polish with 400 grit, all dry sanding. I think the piece is a work of art and is unique. If you didn't like the satin finish, I think it could be polished out if need be.

Hi Craig. I actually like the satin finish. In another video the whole piece is sating and I have a few others similar. I just didn't expect to be doing it with this piece. 😁

Hi Jeff, the centrepiece is the feature and I perhaps would not have done the extra Frit detail to help side pieces. But I love the colours. Great troubleshooting.

Thanks Hayley. Sometimes I break simple is better. Wow! 'Hit you in the face' is better. 😁
