A Shocking Result with this Glass Fusing Project

Often when making fused glass projects there is a lot of agonising over the design. And this project was no different. And it turned out a little shocking as you'll find out.
Follow the process and find out just what I mean by 'shocking'. You'll also find the technique is quite simple and doesn't require any special equipment.

Very “striking” (pun intended) 😊 My two favourite colours together. Love this technique and the outcome, Jeff. Thanks so much for helping me to think outside the box with all your videos 👍

Well done Jeff and what a clever way to make the "jagged" lines, brilliant! I really like the reactions too. Excellent!

yeah i have always loved combining furnace work mosaic tile techniques and kilnformed pattern bar techniques and the truth is theres a ton of strikers and reactives in furnace bar color companies catalogs too, the crossover potential for something like this is enormous!

@joshschneider9766 Ай бұрын

the kookaburras said oh my hes blurring the lines between flow bars strip construction and interference patterns and thats hilarious hehehe. this is a great little mixture of aspects of each of the above, i really love it, and it gives me a TON of inspiration about how to use processes like this in furnace work. Keep on rocketing out the good work Jeff :)

But a little shocking? Thank you 😁

@joshschneider9766 Ай бұрын

this definitely made a nice plate, but if you considered it a parts sheet rather than a finished platter, you could cut crosswise strips and lay them edge upward to create a wicked checkerboard type pattern as well, maybe selectively add in colors that would have further interesting reactions even. frame that with some tight stripes off a basic strip construction pattern bar and slump that too, bet it would be absolutely killer. the irregularity is wonderful, i absolutely dig it as a coloring technique, so so many potential applications of it i can think of. came out shocking in all the best possible ways!!!

@joshschneider9766 Ай бұрын

ohh dude i just realized if you did five or six of these in different color combos you could totally make tartan like patterns, that would be absolutely wicked.

You sound excited. That's made my day. That's the message I try to get across. Use your imagination and go for it.

It's a nice project, well done and thanks for sharing. It's great when an experiment gives you success like that. What do you do with all of your pieces? Do you put them in an online shop? Save them up for a craft fair? Or store them away?

@RocketRoseArt 4 ай бұрын

That's a great question. They all end up in our gallery here at home. This used to be open but not at the moment. So no sales through that and I don't have them listed online. I think they are too costly for online, so they are displayed for our benefit at the moment. And I'm not a marketing guru so don't get around the galleries.

@gwenpetersen5452 4 ай бұрын

You are so creative. It turned out great. Two questions: the small pieces were turned on their sides, pointing up right beside the strips? When I sift a light layer of frit on the top surface of a piece of glass it is almost impossible to keep some from adhering to the sides of the glass causing there to be rough edges, even when I use a small paint brush to try to remove it all from the sides. Do you have a suggestion on how to prevent this from happening? Thank you.

@RocketRoseArt 4 ай бұрын

Hi Gwen. Yes, or over the joins if possible. Each piece base can be a little different in thickness but I generally got it over the edge. But some fell over and I just left them. It is very fiddly. But they didn't seem to make much difference. Regards the frit, the only time I've had that is when I didn't fuse it fully. When I've done this I haven't normally tried to clean the edges. Just left the frit there. Other than the full fuse, I'm not sure why it would be rough.

Lovely piece. Now it’s been coated in clear fritt to fix the devit , does it become foodsafe?

@laurakoeper3399 5 ай бұрын

I was wondering the same thing. I’ve been told capping with clear makes it food safe so… yes?

@RocketRoseArt 4 ай бұрын

Hi Laura. Just about to answer this with Jules.

@RocketRoseArt 4 ай бұрын

Hi Jules. In theory, it does. According to the Bullseye site capping with clear Tekta makes it food safe so that the levels of lead etc are well below the FDA limits. However, I believe they are talking about a full cap with 3mm or at least 2mm glass. And even then they are hedging their bet with comments that really throw the ball back to you and say you should do independent testing. Not sure how many of us can afford that. Personally, I wouldn't trust that such a thin layer as I added would be totally food safe. Best bet in my opinion, if you want something to be food safe, is to not use any unsafe colours. Which pretty much rules out reactive glasses, unfortunately. But I would take Bullseyes recommendation about capping if it was 3mm clear. I think it best if you do some research, have a look at what Bullseye have to say, and make a choice. It's not black and white, unfortunately. Would be easy if it was.
