I tried my new blossoms mold yesturday along with some leaves that I tried with a different frit mix. They turned out well but the leaves were a bit too light for the flowers and the center of my flowers (Anne, please see tip below!) disappeared! Anyway...I have a piece that I started last month that has darker leaves and never slumped so I'm thinking I'll add the flowers to it. What do you think?
Tip...When doing flower centers pay attention to which frit jar you're grabbing off the shelf. Yellow trans will disappear when fused with red trans!! DUH!
Becki, now that's something I would have done, thanks for the reminder! It would be in keeping with some of the other dumb glass things I've done recently. Oh well, we do learn from this right?
Yes, I think the darker leaves will probably look better with it. Do some pink blossoms and you can use the lighter leaves with them.
Ok can you enamel on the centre and refire? If you put them back in the mold to refire they aren't going anywhere right?
