Title: Fused something
Post by: Pam on January 10, 2007, 04:38:12 PM
What do you think of this.
Real hole, very smooth and quite funky. Haven't got a clue how they got there but really like them.
I have a couple more fusing to do on this before it is complete but just wanted to share my confusion over the holes.

lovely colours Pam ;D i think the holes are probably air bubbles. how thick was your glass? i expect they were air bubbles which got bigger, then burst leaving a small hole and as the glass has settled it has drawn up the glass around the burst bubbles, leaving holes. that's what i reckon anyway!!

I made these last night, any tips on avoiding the bubbles  (although I do quite like the bubbly look)

one way is to put the small pieces on top, that way you won't trap any air. I think they look nice tho!
