LOL..Geeze guys!
I know it has something to do with corded glass or something like what Nancy did with her drops, but what kind of glass is it? I think it is so cool.

Thanks for the nice comments. Kev it's done with stringers. No special glass, just patience.

Awesome! Did you tack fuse the stringer then cap it, or just glue it in place and fire it capped all at once?

Kev I lay stringers on the base piece and glue them down then put stringers going the other direction on the cap piece and put them together. I do a full fuse and slump. Thanks again for the compliments.

Well....that's very clever gluing them to both pieces. I would have tried stacking them on top of the first layer of stringer, but your idea is so much smarter. Thanks for sharing! Love the results!

Jan, there seems to be alot of different views on different glues and adhesives used in the kiln. What do you use to keep your grid so perfect?

Becki I am still using a glue runner. I think scrapbookers use it. It puts down a line of very sticky glue. I put a line on each end and in the middle if the stingers are long. It is so sticky if you put your stringer on wonky it's hard to adjust it without breaking the stringer. I have used it on all of the bubble pieces and never not had it burn away clean. Even with clear base and cap you can't tell it was used.

I don't remember you ever mentioning that before, Jan. That's very cool. I don't use glue much but there are times when I need a bit more "stick" than hairspray can give me. Good tip!

I have some Stampin Up 2 way glue that's a 'runner', but in looking at it I don't think that's what you're using Jan. Can you give us a brand name?

This piece is perfect. It shows you have the patience of a saint. The fusing is spot on and the edges are that well done it shows that you have the characteristics of your kiln down pat. Not to mention the right schedules . The slumping is as good for the same reasons All in all a lovely showpiece
