Glass casting experiment

1. pressing the poppy heads and leaves into clay

2. make a 'cow pat' by pouring a plaster mix over the clay, we did  this 3  times

3. once the plaster is set, the clay is peeled away
4. the glass is added to the top of the plaster mould & then it's fired in the kiln
(for this experiment I used 2 layers of 3mm float glass)

5. result!!
I am pleased but would of liked it to have a bit more definition, so it's back in
the kiln tonight with just 1 layer of 6mm glass, fingers crossed!!
