So..here's the cute little panel Jeanne created to see if she could use the kiln to come up with a logo design for a client.
She followed a design that they have printed on their business card.
The little vines took quite awhile to cut out.
She probably spent 2 or 3 days working on the panel.
There is a piece of moonstone glass under the colored stripes to give the panel some thickness. I fired this to 1350 last night.
And here it is, a mess!
You can see that the moonstone broke beneath the colored strips, moved everything about and even began running off the kiln shelf.
What went wrong? I probably ramped the temperature up too fast.
Back to the drawing board...They say that fused artists learn to live with disappointment.
We Love Stained Glass! David Gomm started building stained glass windows in 1983 and soon convinced Jeanne to join him in the art. They have become experts at many aspects of stained glass building, design and repair. Their website www.gsg-art.com has many tips and articles about stained glass, art in general and creativity.
