Thank you for such a beautiful intergenerational video. You are an amazing grandpa. Your grandchildren are delightful. This video made my day, and your lesson -- which allowed for failure and an opportunity to learn -- was instructive. Thank you!
Just use a standard fusing schedule. We use 300F dph to 1100F hold 10 minutes, 250F to 1230F hold 30 minutes, 250F to 1460F hold 10 minutes, then as fast as possible to 900F hold for an hour, 100 dph to 750F no hold, kiln off.
Very nice indeed. Please write the temperature and the ramps to fuse the leaves and the name of the powder you used. I would love to do it with my grandchildren. Thank you
We used Bullseye powders. When we fired, we held at 1230F for around half an hour on the way up to help minimize trapped air bubbles. Then we continued firing on to a full fuse temperature, which is around 1460F for the what we made in this video.
A very fun video! Don’t forget to pinch the nose and adapt the sides of your N95 mask to your face. If you leave a space around the mask, it can’t protect you properly. Happy fusing!
The glass becomes mailable and can flex a bit, allowing the air to push its way out. Two glass pieces would become like a thick paste and any air would either be trapped or form a hole were it broke through the glass.
You two are so cute. I loved watching you guys together.
Fun tutorial and fabulous seeing all of you 'Growing up so wonderfully'!!! Thanks for all!
Lovely to see these young kids getting involved and learning about the safety aspects while having fun. Well done 😊
Love seeing the kids in the presentation. Including the next generation in our art work is very important!

Thanks for doing this video. I have learned so much from this. ❤😊
Delani, what a great job today! We enjoyed your informational video on fusing leaves in the kiln!

Thanks to both of you. Very very nice idea to make with my nephews. The best video I-have ever seen!
This was so informative and fun to watch. Thank you!
Great job Delani !! Thanks for sharing your results !! Good to see you Brad LOL (Gail )
What a lovely presentation ! Well done and thank you . X
Love to see the young kids experiment!
great job Delany!! and special guests!
Great job Delani!
Awesome, had been wanting to learn how to incorporate leaves in glass-now I know! Thanks!
adorable! keep it up, learned lots!
Love what you guys do!!
Awesome! What a great idea! Thank you for sharing!
Love this video....Thanks.
You guys are amazing thank you so much for this video
Should sift the powders/apply mica on the veiny side of leaf for maximum effect. It captures the texture.
nice tutorial and I loved the kids
Where is the LOVE button?
Hi, this is a great presentation but can you share the schedule for the Mica on leaves please?
Just use a standard fusing schedule. We use 300F dph to 1100F hold 10 minutes, 250F to 1230F hold 30 minutes, 250F to 1460F hold 10 minutes, then as fast as possible to 900F hold for an hour, 100 dph to 750F no hold, kiln off.

How would you do pine needles?
Good question. Give it a try and let us know!
the fiber paper allowed the air to escape??
