Fearless Fusing - Fixing an Epic Disaster

- I learned quite a bit with this one! Thanks for learning along with me!
Various Bullseye glass used:
Red opal (124)
Canary yellow opal confetti (120)
Spring green transparent sheet glass and rod (1426)
Aventurine green powder (1112)
Marigold yellow opal powder (320)
Tekta sheet glass
Clear powder and fine frit (1101)
I'm fairly certain the background was a sheet of special production streaky with spring green opal and white perhaps? Sorry I don't have a code... wish I had more of this glass! There's a chance that it's streaky 2107... that's very close too.
FIRING SCHEDULES
Fuse confetti to red, same schedule for the full fuse after they were cut and for the leaves with powders
300-1475-30
9999-900-60
Off (I didn’t do a slow ramp since these were thin and is just parts that would be fired again)
Tack fuse
300-1300-:05
9999-900-4.0 (I probably should have gone 8 hours due to the thickness and the single layer base?)
100-600-0 (In hindsight, this may have been bad too. I might go 50-600-0 in the future and then 100-100-0 to help control the cooling off)
Full fuse “fix” (Used this same schedule for both the last two firings)
200-1225-60
600-1425-30
9999-900-8.0
50-600-0
100-100-0 - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I lived in Amsterdam for 3 yrs, It was awesome. What a learning experience for a small town girl. Love the colors. Fresh flowers at the market every day. Thanks so much for the great piece and the memory.
Aww! My heart broke when you're piece broke! Thank you for sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly with us! It turned out beautiful!
What I learned was how important a slow ramp is at the beginning when there are so many different thicknesses.
So glad you took a deep breath and persevered! The end results were worth it!
You are amazing! What we all learn from you is curiosity, creativity, positivity, fearlessness, patience, and perseverance! Thank you so much for sharing all the ups and downs of loving glass fusing!
That’s so sweet! Thanks for that!
In my experience, it is the fast ramp up time that causes the glass to break. In a piece like yours, glass thickness is different at different spots. Fast ramp up time makes thinner glass hot but thicker glass not hot enough, when process temperature is reached. Thus causing the cracks.
learned so much from this video. my sister wants me to make a big plate for her with poppies on it. I really love how u made the tulips, that idea might work great for the poppies. Also a good reminder to use 2 layers of glass for a big piece. I often use Tabitha's firing schedules.
Bob Ross would be proud of your "Happy little accidents"
Jamaison, first of all, you are super ingenious to come up with the method for the tulip petals! I thought that was ingenious! Then in the spirit of learning, you make another brilliant and bold attempt at fixing it. I thought it looked amazing! I am super impressed, this was incredible from start to finish. Excellent work, excellent and it is beautiful! 👍😊
Aw, I’m blushing for all this praise! Thank you!!! 🥰
I learned perseverance! Great job. Beautiful piece.
I would have added a bee or butterfly following the crack line.
It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely love the way you did the tulips. Lemons to lemonade. Great job Jamaison!
Thank you! I am sure I’m going to try more tulips in the future!
Well done on saving your work. You taught me to persevere.
Wow! This is gorgeous! I would love to own that!
Great save! Your final result has a different “look” than the original, but quite pleasing as well. When I repair a crack, I find that clear tends to dilute the pigment, which is noticeable. What works best is powder of the the same color as your background. I use the smallest amount of powder possible, just a few grains wide, along the path of the crack, fusing enough to melt the powder and heal the crack. In this case, with the wispy background, and the desire to keep your texture, that isn’t an option. So, Tekta on the back, and distraction in the form of frit, stringers, or more design elements added to the front. Just hot enough to heal the crack. Basically what you did.
Wow! Unbelievable you were able to repair!!
As usual I learned a ton from this video. It came out beautiful. I have a piece that is a tiny bit big on one side for the frame so I am going to shave down the frame. I just had my first break on a piece and immediately thought “what would Jamaison do” . It broke in half so I put frit in the break , put it on a piece of tekta and made a completely different piece from it. Thanks so much for showing us the good, the , bad , and the ugly.

Great fix. I loved the original piece and the final piece was lovely. The longer anneal would have been nice but if you dropped it, I really don't think it matters. When I am repairing a single layer and I'm going for a lighter look, I always fuse thin clear on the back (I have broke a couple of pieces either because I didn't anneal or I'm just clumsy). Bullseye will often have a sale on clear thin lately and I keep several sheets for the oops projects. I love the way you use frames for finishing your projects. It really does add a real touch of professionalism. Great job!
The thin is a good idea! I’ll keep that in mind.
My heart sank seeing the end result . It was beautiful Jamison. I’m also a stained glass artist…have you considered copperfoiling it in sections and saving it? I would give it a try!
I loved how you did the tulips 🌷. Thank you so much for sharing your good, bad and ugly!
Absolutely wonderful in the end, I love that you don’t give up. Thank you for posting the video!
Once again, you have inspired me...I too have some confetti that I didn't know what to do with (and question why I even bought it). Now I will try some tulips! Thanks for the inspiration! Love watching your processes!
Nice well done , so many firings in the creation impressive 😘
Such an absolutely beautiful piece! Shedding tears with you!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE this piece!! You are so talented and I look forward to your videos.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely wonderful work, Jamaison!! And the save is fantastic!
Thanks Kim!
Good vibes coming your way. This was so beautiful and I know you were really disappointed. The salvage was amazing to me.. I love your work. Nicely done. Worth the effort.
Excellent save!
Final result was awesome. Great save!
Thank you!
Nice save!
I lost a piece as well on a pedestal I left it standing and turned to get the camera and crash bang, swept it all up and started a new one lol. This turned out totally beautiful, I loved the first one but I love the 2nd one as well, its not that one was better than the other they are both just different, they are both awesome in their own right. What defines us isn't what happens, what defines us is how we handle the problems that we face, you nailed it. :)
Aw, thank you Peter!
I love the Tulips! I’d love to place another order.
good save!
Jamaison!!! You are such a joy to learn from!!! That turned out beautifully! And boy did I feel your pain!!! I can't believe you were able to repair such a break (I mean can believe YOU fixed it, lol! I'd just be crying on the floor, lol!) Was great to see the process. Is there a way to contact you, an email perhaps? I have a project I'm getting ready to try and I would love to have your advice on it and your thoughts as to the firing schedule. Please let me know! This video was awesome to watch. Thank you for posting It! Kristy😊
AWESOME! I so admire your talent! I always learn something when I watch your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your glass journey with us! If you ever have time, would love to see how you mount a piece like that to the frame. I'm just starting to look at framing my pieces and have seen the smaller ones you have done where the piece is glued to the frame glass. This piece seems to be mounted straight on the frame maybe? Anyway, however you did it, it's FABULOUS!
Yes, I probably should have filmed that. Most of my pieces are taped into frames (I avoid glue if possible). For this piece, I found some clips intended for art canvases in frames but they worked perfect for what I was doing with this open-backed frame. I will add this as an idea for future videos, thank you!
@@JamaisonSchuler Thank YOU!! :-)
I didn't think that was salvageable! Nice job. I recently had a big piece that cracked into pieces. It seems the fruit pattern was to heavy causing the cracks in the annual stage. Not sure I can fix it like you have but ill give it a try. Thanks
Good luck to you!
Enjoy all your video’s! The tulips came out great! Have you done a video on how to get started selling the items? Would love to know how you do it. Thanks!,,
I have not but I will keep that in mind!
Great video! 0 dislikes wow-
Nice, so does it stay with you or go to your friend? Great save.
Ah, we shall see! She knows it broke, so I’m taking it to her tomorrow to let her decide if she’d still like it.
