Love how all the murrine came out - great as a tack fuse, especially the flowers, but I love how it all spread doing it as a full fuse. (Left is the full fuse, right is the tack fuse)

I am a sucker for the sparkly stuff.

I think it will look cool - they'll both be very stripey - in theory, one will have a more...chaotic and jagged looking pattern, because I'll smash those and put them straight into the ring, and the other, more flowy, because I'm going to smash it, fire it into rounds, and then into the ring.

We shall see!

(It's not that I think it would be particularly difficult, just more math as to glass weight before capping.)

What gorgeous bowls these will make!

The first picture, the left is peacock blue fine frit, tangerine orange fine frit, pink medium frit. Then some powder blue coarse frit, and pink coarse frit on the right. The bottom is the aventurine blue/clear cane. The second picture is a different dichro frit, cause I have no impulse control, thought it was very pretty, and bought it. I did two sets of all, each will get a full & tack fuse.

Did the puddles with this aventurine* green and blue and clear. The stacks are clear/green/clear/blue/clear/green/clear. They’ll become bowls eventually.

*Which I am realizing I have been spelling “adventurine” at least 50% of the time and not even noticing.

Left is tack, right is full.
