All,

I have spoken to Jane, It appears that what she was talking about is not Fusable enamel transfers, but ceramic transfers - the type used for ceramics like plates, cups etc... It looks as though some of these (temperature dependent) can be used with glass as well.

I will be investigating further in the near future and will update.

There are lots of companies that supply these, a quick google search should find one in your local area if you want to also have a try.

Some of these companies do sample packs at a very reasonable price to play with and that is where I am starting.

These are still enamels, they are just hi fire on glaze enamels.

I've used Bailey Decals for custom ones but as they are digitally printed, your not going to get as thick a deposit of ink as screen printed ones. So you might be limited to fusing into an opaque background to see the imagery.
