Endless color combinations fun to play with.
You can find me at Speedoflightgless.com and Etsy
You make it look so easy I haven’t tryed glass I do resin things but love watching you work
Me too! Actually I just love all forms of art. Resin is one of my main ones though. This is kind of like staring into a whole other dimension. Similar outcomes just different techniques. I love seeing how things connect as I learn new skills. 🥰
Wow!!! I just started doing resin & uv resin jewelry… I am getting hooked on dichroic films.. but what YOU DID HERE!!!! Sooo beautiful! 🩷🩵💙💜❤️
Thanks 🌞

Multiple failures leads to excellence
Beautiful ❤

Omg found your channel cause I’ve been trying to look for Glass Dichro plugs
Hi. Oh ya made those before... lots of grinding into shape they ended up being to expensive to sell
🥰

I'm a potter, so I have large kilns, I'm trying to figure out if I can do something in the equipment I have. I make my own kiln wash, might not be the same, where might I get amounts of time at what temps. Maybe Its not possible with what I have. I fire from 1800-2235 generally, but I can lower, I guess I can experiment, what's the worst outcome I could expect, explosions or just melting and making a mess.
Ya not sure ,, you will make it work just use a paper of kiln wash on the shelf
Awesome video. Can you create small circles of various sizes that are flat? And one tone of color without the sparkles in it? thanks much
Flat u would doable but lots of work cutting circles then tack fusing two or 3 layers to make flat circles.
I'm fairly new to fusing but have fallen in love with it! I've been making pendants but want to get into earrings...your video is fascinating! Are all your dichro dots 2 layers?
Yes sometimes 3 , usually 2 layers play with thickness you desire
Hi, i came across your video today. I have no knowledge about this. When you fire square glass pieces at high temperature they become round dots suitable for earrings? Please explain. Doing something for 20 years and still not bored is totally amazing. 👍👍
Ya like mercury, it balls up and wants to maintain 1/4 in thick
Hi there, love the video and the dichro! If I ever do dichro dots I alway get square bling in the middle of the round dot. What do I do wrong?
That sounds like dichro on dichro . Maybe assure the touching surfaces are fusible
@@speedoflightglass No, it's dichro, capped with clear glass that is compatible
@@marianblaauw sounds like bottom layer not fusing? Make sure kiln temp hot enough to fuse both layers.
Make sure the clear cap is slightly bigger than the dichro and it'll enclose the bottom layer completely.
Have you tried applying a “mesh” to a piece of glass with a glass cutter and then breaking it? Wouldn't this work and make it easier to cut each strip of glass?
Yes I didn't care for it as much.. but it works for some
1/2" squares for studs? They are so beautiful!
I would stack 3 thin for a 1/2 in dot.. it needs the mass to balance out at 1/4 in thick
Beautiful!!! What do you call the glass cutter you’re using? 😊
It's a Beatle bit ! They are great
Hallo from Greece, what is the power and the time i have set to my microwave kiln so that start melt the dechroid glass?
EXPERIMENT, EVERY MICRO KILN IS DIFFERENT
It's in the video
Not sure about microwave kilns. I have never used one
Do you fire dichro with sparkle side up or down?
Oh ya ! Play with it
They're beautiful! Are the clear and dichro cut to the same size? After the hold I take it you go to 9999 to 0? TYI!
Hi ! Ya 1 segment they cool easy .never broke one 🙂 the dots will go round best at. ,, 2 layers cut & stacked 1/4 in. To 1/2in. Squares
@@speedoflightglass Thank you for replying (so many don't) and your valued info. Much appreciated! ~Be well!
Hello what temp is the temp and how long? Thank you
Is all the glass you are using dichroic...even the colored glass
Sometimes! I try them all ..but most in the video is clear and transparent..dichro on bottom
Great video! My dichro dots two layers, dichro on bottom with clear on top but they never round up! May I ask what your full fuse temp is and the hold?
Try top 3mm.regular and bottom 1.5mm thin. And 9999~1500~22 hold
do you use clear dichoric or black
Both .. depending.. mix it up
Where did you get big sheets of dichro?
CBS Sandberg dichro.. tell'em I sent ya. :) Sunny
I wanna learn this art, could you teach me. I literally mean it. Teach me professionally ?
Heck ya , Where do u live? I am in Portland OR.
@@speedoflightglass India... This is not a joke, I love your work. I genuinely want to learn your art.
