This is what I worked on today. It's for a gal at work. She commissioned me to do a tray similar to the lavender one I did before with the green leaves. Her mom is a big butterfly fan. she loves green, purple and orange...so this is what I came up with. I'm currently doing a contour fuse on it now and will slump it tomorrow.

Nice! I like the way the colors pop on the dark base glass. She should be pleased with this piece.

I, too, like the colors on the dark base. Really pops.

Here it is after fusing. There was a small piece of kiln dust that landed right next to the small leaf, so I thought I would sandblast it out. My resist cutting freehand needs a lot more practice, but I'm OK with the results. Tomorrow I will slump it. I suspect the frosted appearance will fade with the slumping, but this is another experiment for me, and something i wanted to know.

The sandblasted leaf details are interesting, but I think they'll be wiped clean after fusing to. Maybe there will be a slight impression or a light milky appearence left after slumping that would act like a leaf shadow. (I'm hoping for a slight milky appearence from that sand blasting:)
That's a fun piece Kev and looking forward to seeing it after the final firing.
It looks so 3-D like!

AWESOME! Great colors. Love the bi-color flowers.
You may not loose the sandblasting . A slump only has to go to 1200 and wait. A fire polish is 1380 or something like that. Try slumping low and slow to really check out the sand and slump possibilities.

That's what I am hoping for Judy. I have some ideas swirling around if I can keep the frosted appearance.
I must say..it was fun getting out there cutting glass again to make a design. I think I need to do more of it.

LOL...there are more limits than what I wish...lol, but I think I am the biggest limiting factor. I do like trying new things though, and I love being creative.

It is just beautiful! And I really can't see the glass dust..but it will be interesting to see what happens after you slump it!
Nice job, and look at you go with the custom orders!
