Finally finished is right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I rolled the edges if the 1/2 inch H came to meet with the roller I use for foiling...worked great and hides the wire sling.

I'm glad I continued with it...I love it..sorry Alan/Tom/Becki..LOL

Great piece Kev.  The fused center is especially impressive.  Did you do anything special (like leave a wider gap between the glass) to keep the knot "overs" from fusing into the rest of the knot?

Thanks Judyth.

All the pieces for the knot were cut and laid out as if it would have been foiled.  There were no extra allowances made for the "over" pieces. Once all pieces were assembled, they were fired to a dimensional fuse to retain relief from the background glass, and also to retain some dimension as the individual ribbons.
