Unlocking Creativity: Transforming Cut Off Scraps into Abstract Masterpieces fused glass tutorial

I have been trying to work through my Cut Off Scraps to use them in interesting and artistic ways...this one was going to be an abstract sculpture for a particular stand....except I didn't measure accurately on the width *grin*.... so I could make a stand for it anyhow, but then I thought about slumping it into a candle shield...or a wave shape...so for now, I think I will wait until it "tells me" what it wants to be.
I still have a TON of scrap to use, so I am sure I am not done yet! But I have some other ideas on what to do with those pieces. I do stained glass as well, but I like to keep my fusing glass in the fusing arena....I intend to do some mosaic with my stained glass and I may incorporate some of my fused abstract into the mosaic and stained glass as well.
Additionally, I have a TON of float glass I acquired a few years back from a storage unit purchase...it was WAY more glass than I expected it to be - so the enamels will be coming out to paint soon as well!
I hope you enjoy my "Squirrel Brain" process! Thank you!

I love those colors and the idea of making a sconce or candle shield out of it. That would be so beautiful. I have a squirrel brain too, lol so thanks for sharing!

[@AnnetteRintelmann]

You are welcome. Were do you buy your materials from?

[@JenelArt]

Well most of this is scrap cut offs from other projects. I get my fusing glass from a few different places depending on what I need... AAE Glass, D&L art glass and one out of Houston that the name escape me right now...I get my stained glass in different places too 😆

Everyone get things in Texas. We don't have that much in N.C.

@AnnetteRintelmann very true. I'm in the high country and there is really no local options... they did open a hobby lobby but the selection is really only stained glass and mosaic...I have no choice unless I want to drive for hours 😆
