Easy Fused Glass Jewelry Pendants - No Mold Needed
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2022
- I love projects like this… all scrap, no molds, relatively easy but with HUGE impact. And in this case, I specifically made these to be sold together as pairs for sisters, mother/daughter, best friends, etc.
Glass used is various Bullseye glass, with base of French vanilla.
Cane was scrap from Wilderness Glass from Lori Moreno on Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/WildernessG...
The vitrigraph came from a few sources:
Tabitha’s Glass Emporium: www.tabithasglassemporium.com
JL Glass on Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/jlglass?ref...

These are super cute! I love the idea
What a wonderful idea! Love the colors and how unique each pendant looks!
Beautiful colors and a brilliant idea! You never cease to amaze me! Very, very nice! ☺
They are beautiful. Great job playing with colors and reactions. Always enjoy your videos.
Love the colors. More please.
Super job - really great reactions and color combo! Well done you!
Love the glass design!
Very nice,,,,love the color splash❣️😁
Definitely fin project. Thank you for sharing. Love those tube bails!
Great idea and beautiful work. You worked really hard and brought every single piece to perfection
Love your video. Hoping to have more time soon to try some of them. Especially this one with reactive glass.
I enjoyed that a lot! I think the BFF pendents are a beneficial angle, both for you, and the customers. The tube bails seem to fit the style really well. Thank you!!
They Look great x
Great job! I’ve been thinking about making pendants in this manner but wasn’t sure where to start. As usual you are about 10 steps ahead of us and do the hard part! I always learn something from your videos, thank you.
Those were absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much! They sold quickly, too. Just one pair left I think? It was a fun idea.
Thanks , lots to learn from you.
Great information! Thank you!
This video popped up in my feed and now I’m a fan and new sub. Beautiful pieces and great idea to sell as a pair.
Welcome! Thanks for the kind note!
Great colors and use of your test panel for the commissions. Thank you again for the fire polish schedule and the tip on where to find your schedules … seems I missed that with my heart fire polish question from the last video. Ugh !! There is always a straggler in the class that needs a reminder, this time it was me. :-). BTW i have been using e6000 for over 7 years and never had any issues. I use the small tubes too.
Well, don't beat yourself up... not sure I included that fire polish schedule in those video notes or not because the intent of that video really wasn't about the hearts. LOL
You can get E 6000 a few in a package at the dollar store. Or Joann fabrics, Michaels, Home Depot.
The tube bails?
I’ve used Goop glue for bails with great success over the past 5 years or so. Most hardware stores carry it. Thanks.
The pnly problem I have ever had with E6000 was when we moved to Hawaii.
Our containers where on top,of the ship and I had a couple pop off the bails, easy fix.
Very Cool
Love these and all the info you provide. Also very interested in your grinder...I seem to have issues with straightness with my traditional grinder.
Yes, I do like this one. I have a few videos on it back in my feed if you want to go check them out.
Hi there..love your videos..thanks for expressing such enthusiasm and love for glass fusing! Do you think you could share where you get your jewelry findings from? Thanks!!!
Well, as I said in the video, I've had those so long that I've forgotten where they came from. But I generally buy things I find on Etsy, Amazon or Fire Mountain Gems.
These are absolutely amazing! Can you please share your table cutting system? I don't have one so I find it a struggle to cut several pieces of the same size.
It’s the strip cutter pro from cutter’s mate
Thanks for making another 'knock it out of the park' video. I adore them all and always learn something new. I was wondering if you could share the cane color from Wilderness glass (love her stuff, thanks to you!) Also am wondering how long of a bubble squeeze do you do for a piece that has a 3mm bottom, murine and vitragraph pieces capped with tekta. I recently did a cute flower design with those and some frit. Used the kiln programmed full fuse schedule but came up with some bubbles. They aren't a deal breaker but would like to understand the bubble squeeze part more. Thanks in advance from a native Texas living in CA.
Hi there! The cane was from a scrap sale she ran on Black Friday, and as scrap, it has various colors with no specifics. So I was just eyeballing what I used, and I’m not sure what came she has available now.
For the fusing schedules, I always include those in my video notes. Keep in mind I full fused all the elements to the base glass FIRST, then added tekta cap in a second firing. This significantly reduced trapped air potential and bubbles. Hope this helps!
@@JamaisonSchuler I never thought about full fusing first and then capping! a big DUH! here! I love all the items from Wilderness glass and Tabitha. Thanks for the amazingly quick reply. again, I appreciate and look forward to all your videos. I , like you, like to refer to my self as a student that shares. I teach at my local college craft center and although I am labeled as the 'instructor', I always tell my 'students', I am just sharing what I have learned.
Love the project. The necklaces are gorgeous. I don’t know if you didn’t put your firing schedules in description or the new utube format removed it., but they aren’t there.
They are there… scroll all the way to the bottom?
Beautiful work 💕
Can that device called jooltool be used to cold work the edges instead of the big lap unit you use here? Many thanks 🙏💗
Sorry, I’m not familiar with that tool
I make my dichroic cabs this way, make a tile and then cut it up, I did something like this one year, but one large and the other smaller, sold them as mother daughter pendants and they sold like crazy.
Love that!
As always, another really cool and creative idea, Jamison! I love them!
I was wondering.... would you consider doing a video or two on how to figure out firing schedules according to the type of piece you are working with. I struggle with that and have never found any really instruction on how to calculate a schedule. I know kilns differ and will vary, but the basic understanding of temp and how fast to ramp and how long to hold and how many segments you might need and understanding a bubble squeeze as well as it might or might not need to be part of a schedule. There are so many variables (size, full/tack/polish), but how to lay out a schedule by looking at the piece you are planning to fire is always a challenge for me. I find myself always going to the automatically programmed schedules in my kiln and that is fine, but it limits me.
Anyway, I hope you might share some knowledge and insights with us on firing schedules. It's my biggest stumbling block. And, thanks for all your tips and tremendous inspiration. I learn so much from you every day. Thank you! 🤩
Well, the thing is, I really don't see myself a teacher but instead I'm sharing as I learn. So I don't see myself offering that kind of video, especially when there are so many out there who DO teach making a living on this kind of deeper knowledge. Instead, I might recommend you spend a very small sum on this AMAZING e-book from Bob Leatherbarrow. Read it, then re-read it. It is such an amazing resource for a surprisingly little amount of money. And then you are supporting another artist and teacher: www.leatherbarrowglass.com/purchase/firing-schedules-for-kilnformed-glass
To me, this is like the Bible for firing schedules and may help you in just the way you are looking for...
Dana, I’m new to fusing also and completely understand you. There is a few videos from Bulleye glass that will explain the firing schedules. It’s the best ones out there that I have seen and trust me I have looked! 😂.
@@magali44276 Thank you Magali. I've looked at all of them too and found the Bullseye to be the best, but still not what I need. Still needing the theory part, I think.
@@JamaisonSchuler Thank you, Jamaison. I have not come across that e-book, but will invest in it for sure. I am pretty okay with experimenting creatively, but lack the technical knowledge to know how to create schedules correctly for successful results. I truly appreciate all you do for us and have learned so much from every one of your videos. And, you ARE a great teacher, whether you know it or not. ❤
I understand your position Dana. I have asked those same questions. From what I have gathered it’s really trial an error since again all Kilns are different. If you have a stained glass supply shop close to you and they also do fused glass, you may go there and see if you can have a one on one with the teacher ( if they offer classes) and they might give you what you are looking for. Good luck
Jamaison, thanks so much for your videos! I learn something new from each one. Do you buy the necklace bales from Amazon or another source? I like the barrel style.
As I said in the video, I’ve had these so long that I’ve forgotten where I got them. I often shop Amazon, Etsy and Fire Mountain
Hi Jamaison, I love the color combinations do you remember what colors you used, some of it looks like adventurine and spring green? Thanks for sharing.
Turquoise, spring green, aventurine on French vanilla.
Thanks. Love watching your videos. What is your website that you sell your products from?
Hi there - thank you for your kind words. My website is fourleavesglass.com
Love these and the colors you used. Where can I see them for possible purchase?
There’s only one pair left. www.fourleavesglass.com
love your color combo on these. what colors besides french vanilla?
Spring green, turquoise and aventurine green. Maybe chunk or two of peacock?
Would love to see a picture of the glass with frit on it, before you fired it. Would you share that here or on FB?
Hard to post here but I just posted some similar photos on my UA-cam feed as a photo post!
After the 24 hour wait for the glue to set l then put them into the oven at 250 for 20 minutes. I can’t remember where that tip came from…..
Love these. What kind of chain is that? Thx
It’s a snake chain. I get them from Fire Mountain Gems online.
Thank you for doing videos
you made cutting the pendants down after fusing the clear top look easy! I find it very difficult because of the thickness - are. you using a special glass cutter?!
It did look easy, but there was no magic. Just a standard cutter and some good breaking pliers. I think it helped that I was cutting them in half and that they were thinner strips, only about an inch and a half wide. Plus a fair amount of luck?
I'll try it and see if I have any luck! Thank you for the tutorials!
Place E6000 on bail and pendant. Place in oven on 275 for 30 minutes. Perfect
👏👏👏🍀
are all the colors used frit or were they cut up pieces of glass?
Most was frit, but there were a few other elements. It was made the same way as this larger art piece if you want to see more detail:
ua-cam.com/video/mAqOdmBu4x8/v-deo.html
Do you sell your pendants with the necklace or without?
It’s an option to add the chain for an additional cost
What do you sell your pendants for
Mostly $30-40
Cover the entire piece with the teckta, fuse, then cut. Firepolish and done.
Sounds easy breezy but cutting 6-7mm glass can be quite the challenge! I wanted more control over the outcome, and I don’t have a glass or tile saw.
I don’t understand your firing notes. My microwave is 900 watts. Can you tell me a polish time for your pendants?
Sorry no - I have zero experience with a microwave kiln.
@@JamaisonSchuler ok thank you for responding. The microwave kiln is fast and works great for jewelry!
It showing bubbles in the jewelry
I’m not sure I understand your comment. There are very few bubbles…
IF YOU LIKE JUNK I GUESS ... I CANT SEE MUCH OF A MARKET FOR THIS?
WELL, THEY ALL SOLD. MOVE ALONG IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT
