 |
| 18.07.12 Yesterday I graduated from Swansea Metropolitan University and I had a lovely day with my friends and family! |
 |
| The design |
 |
| Choosing the glass |
 |
| Not the colours I'd planned on using, but just love this glass and that's how it happens sometimes, the grand plans goes out the window and the glass takes control |
 |
| Sorting out colours that would go to together well |
 |
| Pleased with it so far but it needs something extra |
 |
| Umm.... I like it!! |
 |
| On the bottom of the panel, I decided to use Tekta fusing glass and frit, I used fuchsia, cobalt blue & cranberry powder frit with a sprinkle of fuchsia fine frit |
 |
 |
| In the kiln ready to fire |
 |
| Time to stop now!! |
 |
| 13.07.12 Today I started to lead my panel, with means making sure the glass fits the design correctly The glass needs to fit inside the black line as the heart of the lead needs to sit on the line. |
 |
| The top half of my panel leaded |
 |
| Once leaded the joints need to be cleaned with a wire brush and then the Tallow is applied, which looks like a candle stick |
 |
| Then the each joint is soldered |
 |
| Unfortunately the coloured frit was to pale on it's 1st firing , so I had to add more and needed to be re-fired |
 |
| The kiln almost ready to open |
 |
| The re-fired glass ready to be leaded into my panel! |
 |
| 15.07.12 Just finished soldering my panel just have to cement it now - I don't like cementing but that's life!! |
 |
