    Thank you so much for taking the time to demonstrate thiß technique so clearly.
    I can't afford expensive lessons but I am finding that pottering about with glass is so incredibly therapeutic, especially whilst dealing with illness. Thank you 😊

    Hi Kathy I have tried these hearts but they cam out cloudy and the murrini seems squished any suggestions. I used mostly clear Tekta scrap cut up with some course clear frit

      @@KathHunt-j2j Hi, I use relatively large pieces of tekta to form a base for the murrini and cover them with large pieces too. Then I fill around the edges with smaller pieces. The pieces I use are never as small as “coarse frit”. I find commercial frit shrinks a lot so the murrini, and freeze-n-fuse components can look squished, and they can move in the kiln.

      I was using a Jen-Ken kiln until I lost the controller and switched back to the Paragon Caldera. Hopefully the Jen-Ken will be fixed soon because it’s a lot bigger.

      @@BlumenSusan It will really depends on your kiln. My Jen Ken fires them perfectly, but the Paragon needs a little more time (or heat) to get the exact same results. If I don’t adjust the schedule for the Paragon the tops are not as smooth.
