Re: Tac fuse for pebbles

I just purchased this mold to experiment mixing powders and frit. Think maybe I should buy a few more in order to fire all at once in a Skutt Firebox 14.

Scroll to the bottom for example of deep work. http://www.clearwaterglass.com/Tutorials/VolumeandFootprint.html He mentions that cutting and fitting the glass with precision is the key.

Re: lace glass
I'd also suggest Paul Tarlow's e-book called "Waste Not! Fused Projects Using Scrap" which contains the chapter "Lacy Glass".
http://fusedglassbooks.com/
His helpful e-books on several subjects are $15 and discounted for 2 or more.

Hi,
