A Pot Melt What? A Bowl! That's Potty! Fused Glass Project - Part 1

It was a pot melt piece that looked great, so it's going to end up as a bowl. But the technique I'm using is tedious but wonderful.

Thanks for sharing! I like the boundary between the blue and white.

[@RocketRoseArt]

Me too! And that shadow line.

[@JudithMcFadden]

Wow that was a lot of work. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

[@RocketRoseArt]

Hi Judith. It's coming.

[@3PairDesigns]

Jeff, that is incredible! It looked pretty tedious, but, I have to say, your color combination and the reaction with the white border and the transparents looked beautiful. I am with you, that Salmon (I've used it before) can be a wildcard sometimes. I am anxious to see the final result as sometimes that Salmon can mellow out. Regardless, it is a beautiful piece! Thank you for sharing ❣

My poor aching back. Bending over the table is the worst part. But it should look okay in the end. If I keep smiling...hard for me.

[@Bob-Is-A-PotterNow]

I barely have the patience to make it through a firing. Two weeks to assemble??? Not likely in my workspace! Very interesting piece and, as others have noted, the reactive interfaces work very nicely!🙂

[@RocketRoseArt]

For me a well. I have just enough space to push it to one side, but still a little squeezy.

[@RampRateArt]

I love the organic edge of the piece! What a shame to have to coldwork that!

[@RocketRoseArt]

I did think about leaving it, but that would make it too big for the mould I intended to use. But I do agree. Sort of a shame.

[@ourbudd]

Very nice and a lot of work, I like the transparent parts the best and I think hind sight for the brown maybe 2 different tones would have been better but I agree it looks good and work with what you have from there. Looking forward to seeing the rest.

[@RocketRoseArt]

Thanks mate. Yes, that salmon pink still is a bit in my face. But, that's it.

[@paigecarey811]

Why did you not have to dam the piece?

[@RocketRoseArt]

Hi Paige. Because it wasn't that thick overall. Each strip, while wobbly cut, was still overall only 6 mm thick. The feature also was only 6 mm thick.

[@thomasbigley9251]

Very interesting piece. You certainly have more patience than I have.
