Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- Another fused glass experiment made with a hot glue gun pattern. Mica, powders, and enamels are used. Firing schedule: Segment 1 222°C/hr ( 400°F )→ 600°C (1112°F) 60 min
Segment 2 111°C/hr ( 200°F )→ 677°C (1250°F) 60 min
Segment 3 333°C/hr ( 600°F ) → 780°C (1436°F) 10 min
Segment 4 999°C/hr ( 999°F )→ 482°C (900°F) 90 min
Segment 5 83°C/hr ( 150°F )→ 371°C (700°F) End
Always use a dust mask when working with mica, powder, and enamels.
Still one of my fav fusing videos. Thank you ❤
This looks like so much fun!!! Thank you for sharing, Lena!
Thank you
Yet again, you’ve outdone yourself, Lena.
Thank you
Great idea with glue gun . Very nice work. Thank you.
Wow! Brilliant thanks for sharing.
Thank you
thank you .It is beautiful
Thank you
Thank you, this is amazing, as are all your videos!!
Thank you Ann Marie
Muy buen trabajo,gracias por compartir
You always have such cool ideas! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you
Wow! This is beautiful! Did you slump into a bowl or did you leave and place in a stand?
This is really eye opener! Thank you for sharing the technique!!! May I ask what medium you used for mixing mica?
Love it so creative!! very cool idea
This is amazing!!!!! Beautiful job!!!!
Thank you
Did you mount the circle on another circle? Ie 6mm thick or just leave as 3mm plus mica and powder?
I did not add another 3mm. That is the reason I only made a contour fuse
Lena, this looks absolutely original and full of possibilities! Loved it!!
One thing is not clear for me. You put mica and powder and fire it upside, and then turn it and add more powder on the other side and fire it again upside down?
Thank you, I added more powder on top of the mica and powder side
You make weeding the glue look so easy but it didn't work for me. My glue is silicone which STICKS to glass very well. I can't get it off. What did I miss?
Hello Lena, I live in Mexico and would love to know the brand of the liquid enamel you used on Bullseye
wow what a beautiful piece. I am new to this ... Did you fire it twice, once for the purple and another time for the enamel? I have just made a piece with enamel and contour fused it but the enamel (glassline pens) did not get hot enough so am going to pop it all in for a full fuse.
Thank you, yes I fired it one more time for the enamel. I use Glassline very thinly. I have another video where I show a way to use Glassline.
This is a beautiful technique Lena! I would like to try something similar - do you use the same medium to mix your enamel as you do with the mica? Do you think aloe Vera would be a good substitute? I’ve used that with enamels before, for painting on, and it worked well, but not tried it with mica.
Thank you, I think Aloe Vera would work just fine
Beautiful work, but sadly a lot out of focus.
Thank you for showing us this technique. Why do you hold for an hour at segment 1 and 2?
Thank you. Mica has a tendency to create bubbles
wow awesome
what color was your enamel?
Just beautiful!!
Thank you
Would the glue gun have just burned off?
I do not think it would be healthy to fire this kind of glue
How do you cut the glass if you don't mind my asking? My drill press only has disks that are maybe 1"
I do not do it with a drill press. I use a Bohle circle cutter. The pate is rather big, the diameter 30 centimeter

Lena, I love watching your creative process. Such talent! Your glue gun has a nice, fine bead of glue and great control. May I ask the brand?
Thank you. It is a cheap brand called Cocraft
