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 😊
@@fionaburton5457 You are so welcome. 😊 UA-cam is a wonderful place to learn and I’m so happy you found my video useful.
I’m very sorry to hear that you are unwell.
I pray that you find comfort, strength and healing in the new year. 💕
thanks for sharing
great to see your progress
love the sound of your kiln quietly clicking in the background
it's a happy sound for us glass artist
I Will look forward too see when the are finished.
Can't wait to see the finished product.
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.
@@KathyFitz1113thanks I’ll try again
no kiln wash or boron spray ?
never mind :)
Gah! Blew a breaker! I swear this is a metaphor for my life. 😂
Great video! Would you share the kiln you use? ❤️❤️❤️
@@SharonClerico I know that feeling.
Thanks!
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.
Where do you buy your murrini from? Thanks for video 👍😜
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Most of my murrini came from Tabitha’s Glass Emporium. Some came from Wilderness Glass.
@@KathyFitz1113 wilderness glass is also great! great quality and takes a couple days for delivery.
@ Yes! I LOVE those as well! They’re beautiful, high quality and I can get them much much quicker. Only downside is the limited selection.
When you write 999, do you really mean 9999 as in As Fast As Possible?
@@aline1148 Yes, sorry if that was confusing. For one of my kilns as fast as possible is 9999, but for the other it’s 999.
Could you share your firing schedule please? For flower hearts
@@myraklayman7511 Absolutely. 😊
I use this full fuse schedule in a Paragon Caldera for these.
Segment Rate Process Hold
1 400 1250 30
2 600 1480 10
3 999 900 60
4 150 700 end
Oops! Strike that. It looks like I used the (bigger) JenKen for these.

@@KathyFitz1113 so whatever full fuse schedule I usually use for two 3mm pieces? no difference
oops....I see you posted the schedule.
@@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.
