Super cute! I am new to glass could you tell me did you make the black dots? And if so how... Thank you. I've made dots just not that small :-) Also what size stringers? THANK YOU!
Thanks! I used coarse black frit for the small black dots. I just full fused them with my other sized dots. If you don't have coarse frit right now, try nipping a few small pieces of black glass. The stringers came either from a seller on Etsy (JL Glass www.etsy.com/shop/jlglass) or Tabitha's Glass Emporium (www.tabithasglassemporium.com/). Be sure they use the same COE glass as you do. I'm working with Bullseye glass. Happy Fusing!!
Welcome to the world of fusing! It's addicting :) If you can take a beginner glass fusing class, you'll learn a LOT of information on how to get started. I use a Paragon Fusion 19 kiln to fuse the glass. I am not a full-time artist so that size kiln works well for the number and sizes of projects that I make. You can find a lot of information online about glass kilns - but the resource I use the most for kiln information is www.kilnfrog.com. You can also find a lot of information here: glasscampus.com/tutorials.htm
Welcome to the world of glass fusing! It's a bit addicting, isn't it?! The stakes in this video are about 7" tall. I've made all different sizes with different designs - for plants that are small succulents to large potted lilies. Here's a short that I made showing some of the smaller sized plant stakes. Have fun creating!! ua-cam.com/users/shorts2bIfBq-6Qlw?si=wsP-WQXWKB-om5kQ
Thank you! The curved plant stem is a stringer. Sometimes they are called vitrigraph stringers. You can find sellers on Etsy in the COE you're using. The ones I'm using in this video are from J L Glass Designs. I'm using Bullseye glass.
I generally use Bullseye GlasTac (pink), but sometimes I'll use their blue GlasTac gel. I use just enough glue to help keep the glass in place until I transfer everything to the kiln. I typically let the glue dry over night before firing and I'm using a tack firing schedule.
I sell the bird plant stakes for $25 in my Etsy shop. Shipping is free. Google/search @redlanternglass or visit the listing here: www.etsy.com/listing/1511036151/adorable-bird-plant-stakes-fused-glass?variation0=3605813234

Love the birds. Do you have a tutorial on the hearts. Valentines day is coming!
Thanks! A tutorial on hearts is a great idea. I’ll see what I can do!
I just started fusing. These are lovely. How tall are you isosceles triangles.

Hearts as birds is a great idea. Do you put a stake on yours, or do you just stick them pointy end down into the soil?
Thanks! I didn't add a stake, just pushed the pointy end into the soil. I think this size suits a medium to large pot best.
How much do you sell them for or do you sell them?
I sell the bird plant stakes for $25 in my Etsy shop. Shipping is free. Google/search @redlanternglass or visit the listing here: www.etsy.com/listing/1511036151/adorable-bird-plant-stakes-fused-glass?variation0=3605813234
Do you soft fuse or full fuse them?
soft fuse, like a contour fuse, or however you like.
@@redlanternglass Thank you!!!🥰
