#88 Dichro Dots

- In this short video I show you how to easily make tiny dichroic dots that can be used in many many ways..
Step 1. Cut tiny squares of dichroic glass.
Step 2. Full fuse.
As Fast As Possible (AFAP) to 1550˚F (840˚C), Hold for 5 minutes
My kiln shelf is covered with Papyrus kiln shelf paper. My favorite part of this brand of kiln shelf paper is that it's reusable. I can make dozens of dots with the same piece of shelf paper.
In this video I used dichroic glass to make the dots but you can make dots with any type of fusible glass.
I hope you give it a try!
Susan

That is super cool! I would totally use those as glass eyes for my clay sculptures. I use glass eyes often as the clay cures at such a low temperature that it does not hurt the glass at all. - Heidi
Thank-you Susan Can't Waite to try this project. Be safe to all.
Love this idea! I have quite a bit of dichroic scrap and will put it to good use! Thanks!! Love your videos too! I learn so much and thank you for sharing your expertise as I’m a fusing novice. 😊
What a great idea! Thank you🎆
Good to see you Susan. I always enjoy your videos and learn a lot. I'm making beads with a blowtorch these days and some fusing as well.
Hi Ellen Do you have a UA-cam site I could look at. Be. safe
@@jacquelinegilder6458 oh I'm not that good yet. Just learning myself still. Susan makes everything look easy. Corning Museum of Glass has some great videos as well. Someday when I'm better I want to go on- line and sell what I make.
Love the dots. What is the name of the small kiln you used?
Thanks Susan! Glad to hear it’s ok to go to 1550 AFAP! Does it matter what kind of kiln paper to use?
Any kiln paper or kiln wash is fine. I just prefer this brand because I can reuse it many times.
What kind of paper do you use? How can you re used, after that High temperature? Thanks!
I put the info in the description of the video.
Was the dichro prefired? I thought the coating would burn off if it wasn’t?
No, it doesn't burn off--no need to prefire.
I don’t understand your fusing schedule - do the dots anneal ? Or d,o they just cool down?
For something so small annealing happens during the natural cool down.
@@SusanMcGarryGlassthat makes sense - thank you for the prompt reply.
