THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAY TO GO STEPH
Hi, i am starting up with fusing again after a long break....going to use my oxide between 3" circles (ornaments), do I still do a bubble squeeze even tho I want the bubbles? Will a bubble hold defeat the purpose of the oxide bubbles? Thank you, Great videos!
That is so awesome!!!! Thanks for the demo.
Hi I just watched this. Love you teaching! Did you tack fuse this?
Thanks for sharing as you experiment!
Awesome thanks for sharing 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for taking the time to do the comparison. I’m getting ready to make my first set of hearts and I’m scared. I don’t know why doing anything new scares me but….. I couldn’t find your schedule. Could you please send them to me? Thanks 🐢
Question: Once the copper oxide is mixed with a liquid (e.g., glasstac) can it be stored for future use, pre-mixed, or will it dry out or become ineffective? If you mentioned this in the video and I missed it I apologize. I'm multi--tasking. Thanks!
Are you saying copper oxide will make bubbles on uncapped single layer glass?
I love making hearts. I used too much copper oxide making bubble hearts. So I'm going to try making a part sheet and dots. Thank you. This was very informative.
where do I get the samples from please
Great tutorial and mold review-very thorough!
I love making dots !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you glue them to the paper?
Yup! Elmer's glue
Lovely!!! Thankyou
Thankyou for taking the time to make this video and share your knowledge. I would like to see the before AND after photos. Do you have after photos to see how the different peices turned out?
What is your Etsy shop?
Thanks for this video - as a visual learner, you have saved me a ton of time. Your rings are gorgeous!
Steph, I LOVE how real you are in this video. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Steph…. How about doing a video on a bowl with a bubbled border? Thanks 🐢
thanks for showing this.
Shelf collapsed? That's heartbreaking!
Hey Steph! Thanks for the video. I watched the other you linked with the instructions also. How much do you sell this copper oxide for? I didn;t see you have a website linked. Sorry if I missed it
It's a few bucks in her Etsy shop. Very reasonable purchase. Expand the video description for her link.
Ohhh no!
I feel your pain.Doing the last little bit ofb work on my flat lap and my 7" drop vases from twisted cane ended up on the garage floor.
SO VERY SORRY THAT HAPPEND
So sorry been there done that
I hope you didnt pay 100 for a cast mold
😢
Arg bummer that sucks sorry!
Thanks Steph! This helped me troubleshoot some issues I had recently. Will be making some nightlights today! ❤
What a terrible video
You are obviously not my target audience
@@StephFuses I’m sure anyone who doesn’t like your videos isn’t your targeted audience. I’ve investigated other videos related to similar topics and they’re decent in my opinion. You talk a lot instead of showing process and results which is the main thing I’m here for.
Steph, Thx for this video. Have you ever tried the oxide powder in-between a layer of tekta and an opal or transparent color ? Also wonder if you laid the two layers in a diamond pattern vs two layer square if they would shrink more.
I have not, but my friend Linda of @ramprateart has, and she's used white as a background. It makes the blue pop and look beautiful!
I tried it on clear and on white. Worked great and I used next to nothing from the baggie. It definitely will last a long time! Is there a way to add photos here?
What temp did you fuse to? Full fuse?
I go to 1485 or thereabouts. My kiln is such a mess, it's 50 degrees too hot, takes forever to get to full fuse temp, so I officially go to 1390 on my display, which is 1440, because it'll take 4 hours to go between 1225 and 1390, even at 400-600 per hour. In my small kiln though, it's 1485, which is more of a proper fuse.
Wow…. Your math is awesome! Have you ever used copper sulfate? I would like the hearts to be fatter. Would I just add more clear glass on top of it? I also I would like to run a wire through it so I can make little suncatchers with the hearts. BIG THANKS to you for sharing. 👍👍🐢
I've never used copper sulfate, but I can look into it. As to fatter hearts, pile on the clear! I make nnice fat hearts all the time. You can run a wire through, I recommend looking for nichrome wire, or high temp wire on Amazon and picking it up in a roll, not in the little hooks. It'll take some trial and error to get it right, but I'm sure you'll get it!
I love using this on white for making backgrounds for water scenes & rainy skies! 😎💜🔥
turns out so pretty!
LOL your momma only steals 95% of your bubbly dots. Signed Yo Momma. 😉 Oh you still have the lil sample tile I made too.
somewhere I have the tiny baggie of dust too!
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!
Can you tell me how you fire the dots with bubbles? Do you use 2 layers of glass to enclose the copper oxide? Never mind! I watched the video that was linked. Thanks
I'm glad the video that was linked helped!
Steph I am trying to slump over chalk. I notice fumes coming from the microwave. Did you experience this?
Is your chalk coloured? It could be the binders keeping the chalk together burning off
Wow! Wow! And Wow! Did I miss a video on this? This is gorgeous❤
I have not done a video on this.. yet!
I bought the 6' sitting bench that goes with the table I put it on top of the table towards the back dropped a cloth over it and that's my second teir. I use the underside for my cash box and bags, and a directors chair
I love this idea!
Oh Steph, your display was so cute and very inviting! I am so sorry you didn't get the traffic you'd hoped for. I know you know this, but it wasn't you or your cousin, it just wasn't the best venue. My first craft fair was like that too, it was a lot of work and I think I sold 1 pair of earrings, talk about a confidence vampire, lol. It was good practice though. It will all come together when it is supposed to ❣
Yeah, it was a confidence vampire, you're absoutely right. But, I did another show a few weks later, and saw $167, so that made up for it!
Where did you get your tags? They're great
I made them! I got my inspiration and know how from this video by @Camryn's Cute Creations, ua-cam.com/video/Tf1bwwYrbvU/v-deo.html And then I went to vistaprint, found the tags I liked, and used Canva to make them. then I haD vistaprint make them
Thanks, they're fabulous
I wish you would’ve shown examples of each of the items you are going to sell while talking about them
I really should have done that, you're right. I have the brain of a squirrel some days. What I talked about bringing, I ended up mostly not bringing too. But, I can show you what the booth looked like. At this link (which is cued up for the right time), there's about 20 seconds of photos of the booth itself, with everyting I brought. ua-cam.com/video/wMLlcCJaciY/v-deo.htmlsi=aQjVJCwGDP8U2gcI&t=46
Your display looked FAB! Sorry, the sales were so low… Love the garden stakes & Suncatchers! 😎💜🔥 And darn those poltergeists! The acrylic stands will surely turn up for your next show.
Found them! Back of my other car!
I'm sorry the show was slow, good thing it was close by, with no rent. It's very realistic to show folks shows aren't always good though. It was an extra lovely day for folks to go to the beach or mountains.
And in Oregon, we appreciate good weather, so no one wanted to be inside.
GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry u didn't have a lot of sales. maybe next year🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hoping next year is better. I'm going to do a show in August too!
@@StephFuses I will pray that all goes great for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
