Finally got the stringer displacement piece assembled!!
-
My frit stretched did its stretchy thing all the way to the center! It also came out VERY thick’s so it’s going back in for another full fuse without a mold to let it just spread out a bit more. I did grind off all the spiky bits. I’m so happy with how pretty it is.

The frit stretch project after another round in the kiln to get it a little thinner. It’s going to be slumped next into a bowl. Really love it so far!

I forgot to take a picture before I started putting the clear bits on top, so imagine the first picture without those two square pieces.
Took the second at that weird angle so it is a little easier to see where the squares are on top. If all goes well, it should result in the stringers going all wavy.
The stringer displacement plate!! The bit on the upper right got a bit…folded for lack of a better description in firing, but it’s fine - my instructor thinks it will probably flatten back out in the slump fuse. If it doesn’t - interesting visual addition, LOL.

@cafechatnoir Ohh, that is a really interesting pattern

Yeah, it came out so neat - and you can't quite see it in the picture, but the sparkles in the green really came through, too.

Yeah, I think it's so neat, and the sparkle in the green shows up well in person.

My instructor was not kidding when she said she knew the perfect mold to use for this - it's exactly how I wanted it to look. Couldn't be happier with this one.

@cafechatnoir that looks like it belongs in a mid century modern room

The stringer displacement after the slump - came out really nice. The one corner where it was a little folded straightened out for the most part and I doubt I'll even notice it the next time I look at it.

Sadly, it gets to live in my post-apocalyptic frat house aesthetic, LOL.

️I love how it came out! Can't wait to try it again with other colors and ribbons instead of the stringers.

I don't think I could be happier with how it turned out - it's just perfect.

@cafechatnoir Beautiful! Live colours and form. Reminds me of Summertime at the ocean.

No, I saw an ad for the class for the optic topics and just snagged the e-book for it. All my classes have been at the workhouse.

@cafechatnoir Yes, the Vitrum books are amazing. Good call to pick them up.
