Yep, I'm blaming you for all my aches and pains. I know, I created the voting videos for this fused glass project, but you could have had some pity on me.
Just joking. This was a journey, cutting and fitting all those strips, but I enjoyed the process. There's nothing like working in my studio at 4 AM, music playing. I'm serious. It's very relaxing.
I hope you enjoy this fused glass project.

I love it. The shapes and surface together is so organic and beautiful. It’s heartening to see something designed essentially by a committee that in the hands of an excellent artist comes out so lovely. Cutting the strips with an uneven top edge makes it look so alive. The strip technique is tedious but worth it. Beautiful and unique.

Thank you Monica. Sometimes committees do work. 🙄 😁

I like it. I think the waves strips gave it a very nice organic look. I think trying something new would be fun.

Yes, I love that textured look and feel. It's very tactile. Makes you want to handle it.

I loved you showing something that has been requested. As artists we have ideas but I know I thrive on suggested things. It challenges me. Thank you so much. 😊

Once you get into it it does have a sort of calming effect. Though the back can get a bit much. Short bursts are good.

What about something geometric with strips, triangles and circles in brighter colors (if you have them)? I am thinking Picasso-ish type design. That would be a feat. Jeff, this has been so much fun watching these great studies and experimental projects!

@RocketRoseArt 2 ай бұрын

The other design that was voted on was more geometric. I think I will be doing that one sometime.

Hi Carol. Have a look at this video and you'll see what I created using a design from a jumper. Absolutely, get inspired and give it a go. - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oK-pdM9_ssfYj2Q.htmlsi=fjiwg85DD6zdiUfC

Love it! Have you considered doing using the same technique but with the design being an image? Like a dog or horse, it would look a bit abstract.

Hi. Yes, and I did do a video like that a while back. You may find it interesting - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oK-pdM9_ssfYj2Q.html

I finished the video and it is absolutely amazing. I’ve never tried the wave strip. It looked like you cut the waves randomly, no pattern? I might have to give this a try but on a much smaller scale!

What about doing something wit AI? I do have reservations about AI art in general, but it might also be an interesting subject to explore for a video. Maybe get 'seed words' from your regular viewers through comments, put these into a generator then try and make what comes up? Just an idea....not sure if it would work..love your videos, you have a great talent for glass working as well as presenting.

@RocketRoseArt 2 ай бұрын

Hi Jonathan. I've tried that but the images it came up with were so complex or weird that they were undoable. Even when I asked for simple designs. I also tried a few generators and different words. But if someone can come up with an AI design they think will work I'm interested.

Hi Jeff I tried this project. I was so happy with it after the first firing, then I cut it to size and refired it to round edges. In the second firing it flooded all over and broke into many pieces. Not sure what I did wrong. My second question is what kind of stencils would I use on Glass to sandblasting?

@RocketRoseArt Ай бұрын

Hi Mark. Other than the slump, the only firing I did was the contour fuse. If you fired again then the extra heat work would be like firing the first time for longer. So any texture would start flattening. Just how much depends on the schedule. What type of firing was the second? Regards the breakage, if it left sharp edges it broke on the way down. If rounded edges it broke on the way up. Depending on this, it sound like you either ramped it up too quick or cooled it too fast. Can you post the schedule? For sandblasting, I use either vinyl for the Cricut machine, if using stickers then anything that's a bit hardy. I've tried even some paper stickers and they lasted okay. Just give the piece a light sandblast. The longer you go the more the stickers erode. You'll see that while you're doing it. Hope that all helps.
