A while back I bought the wrong kind of kiln shelf paper, and am not the kind that sends things back...BUT it was expensive, so I've been trying to figure out how to use it. Yesterday I found a cool use....
I punched a shape out of the paper and placed COE96 clear glass on top of it. Fused it in my sparkly new kiln and, Voila! The glass slumps right into the 'negative space' leaving it embossed with the image. The paper peels off and you are left with a clear piece.
So this morning I'm getting all my punches out and trying it with some different glass - in colors!
Yes, I know I should be working on inventory for my Open House at the Liberty House tomorrow night, but this is soooo much fun!

that is very creative of you!! can you color the paper? a red heart would be cool, right? or a yellow leaf? i like the glass.
Actually - the glass becomes "embossed". It melts right into the negative space. It's really hard to see in the photos, but the glass is completely clear.
Very cool!
What about putting a couple glass beads onto it so it will melt in?
I love glass... can't wait to see what you do with them.
Nice job, Rachel!

I think you ARE working on your inventory...these need to be made into necklaces for your open house!
