I like this idear and I am defenetly going to try this method. Thank you for showing. Some things I found out in the last years. It is easier (usually) when you cut in your direction anstat away from you and you can use a ruler (ad least I do). if you give the glass a gentle tap with the back of the cutter helps the crack run throu. I sand the back of my item swith fine wet sandpaper. Water on the smothin surfis does make your glass smother and the sandpaper last longer. The finer the sand paper the more shine on the glass. You can also use polish wool (like you use with soapstone).
Thank you for this! My microwave kiln and glass pieces are currently in a box because I was a bit scared of it. But now I might take them out of the box and at least look at them. 😁
One step at a time 😁😁 I understand being a little nervous. I was when I first started but it is really pretty simple. You just have to remember that you are working with really hot items. And don't be too disappointed if some of your projects don't turn out. Thanks for watching. 🙂
Hi thanks for watching. I am sorry I don't have a definitive answer for you. I have a couple of different kilns and one say to clean the microwave thoroughly before and after fusing the other one recommends having a dedicated microwave for fusing.
Hi thanks for your question. You can fuse the glass more the once but I don't think the impression will hold its shape without the fusing paper. I haven't ever used confetti glass so I don't know if it would take the shape of the impression but I think it might blend together more than you want it to. Sorry I don't have a clearer answer. Thanks for watching.
Grain from fusing paper. Wash paper with an agent like fumed silica, dry, then sand with fine grit on another piece of glass. You can get 10,000 grain!🤗😇

Thanks for watching and for all the tips. 🙂
I have heard that adding a tiny amount of water to your stone or sand paper, sands the glass with a nicer finish. Also sands quickly.
Hi Barb - thanks for the tip 🙂

I was skeptical, but thinfire fuse paper will change your life!
do NOT try it for inclusions/impressions, though, ask me how I know lol
Thanks I will have to check it out. 🙂
This is so interesting!! Thank you so much for sharing. Do you know if it’s safe to do this in the same microwave you cook food in?

No it's not safe to use the microwave you use for food ,fusing glass and the kiln paper/fibre paper give off toxins
Fantastic tutorial. Is it possible to put confetti glass in the already fired impression and refire again?
Hi thanks for your question. You can fuse the glass more the once but I don't think the impression will hold its shape without the fusing paper.

If I added the coil of wire to the glass before fusing, would the wire melt?
Hi - I believe that it would melt and I wouldn't want to put the metal in my microwave. Thanks for watching.

You only need 4 pounds of pressure to properly cut glass. You will have a cleaner cut with less shards.
Thanks for the tip 🙂
