Can you add more elements to a design after the initial fuse by reheating in kiln. For example, adding a blue center circle seen at 3:20 to the 6 red circle design seen at 3:50, then more complicated/delicate joints could be made in isolation and then incorporated as a larger fused unit?
I might be possible, however you would still need to have contact with all 6 circles. I have had success firing the circles individually, then laying out the pattern and refiring. It greatly reduces the shrinking caused by the surface tension.
I have made things and added to them with a second firing. The more I think about it, I don't think you could add the blue circle in a second firing unless you had more than double layers, so you would get an outflow.

Love this tutorial! It so interesting to know ‘why’ stuff happens. You really make it easy to understand! Thanks and cheers as always☺️
Thanks Caroline. Just back from vacation with some new design ideas.
Excellent, I'll have to go experiment!
Connie - Thanks for watching. I'm still experimenting. What fun! Cheers!
This is a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Amy- Thanks for watching! I think there is still a lot to be discovered here. Cheers!
