@avlcharlie I'm experimenting with a concept that so far has been a failure. If and when I make it work, I might post it. 😂

I have a jewelry kiln, so I don't make the big stuff. But I do make awesome jewelry. Here's a taste. The dichroic cat was just serendipity. I found him hiding in a jewelry bar. I call him Disco Cat.

A glass pendant with swirls of light blue and white. A black cat silhouette cavorts on the surface, chasing mice.
A commissioned piece of small glass art sitting on a black easel. The scene has green grass and a blue streaked sky. All images in the scene are black silhouettes. There is a fence across the sides of the scene and trees behind the fence. An arch mounted on lamp posts sits over open gates, in the center of the fence. The arch has the words rainbow bridge. There is a bridge leading away into the distance. Small streaks of rainbow dichroic glass are under the bridge, lighting the way. In the foreground, a dog, perhaps a greyhound, stands ready to cross the bridge.
A glass pendant with a tropical scene. Silhouettes of palm trees and grass edge blue water with streaks of purple, orange and red across the sky. A few birds are flying in the distance. Streaks of dichroic glass add sparkle.
A fuzzy photo of a wonky-looking cat made out of dichroic glass. He is multi-colored and his eyes are uneven round scratches in the glass, which makes him look crazy. His name is Disco Cat. Also visible in the photo are edges of other pendants with blue and gold dichroic behind tree silhouettes.

So, today we did a stack of glass that is going to puddle from 3x3 inch square to about 6x6 inches and then we smash it and re-fire and it becomes cabochons. Very excited about smashing things.

Plus, dots!

And started cuts for a stack piece next week that will need 108 squares. (And I'm realizing I may have cut too many squares in one size/color...but I can fix it next week.)

A side view of a stack of unfired glass. It is 3x3 squares, and it is dark green, light green, yellow, clear, yellow, light green, and then dark green.
A stack of 3x3 unfired glass, photographed from above, so you just see the top layer of dark green glass. Surrounding it are small squares of unfired glass, some stacked two or three layers in various colors, that will fire into dots.

And a jellyfish! At least, it looks like a jellyfish to me, LOL.

Bonus: The little tentacles? All scrap glass, didn't have to cut any of it.

We could do up to 3, but I stopped at 2 as we were already past the 2 hour mark and I knew I'd feel rushed - but I'm really happy with these and can't wait to see how they fire up.

An unfired suncatcher. A clear plate with a pink and purple jellyfish (or vaguely jellyfish shaped design) - it is very mosaic-y, the body has lots of pieces of pink and purple glass. There are ocean-ish blue cabochons around it.
