You will use One 1.5” x 2.5” Thin Clear fusible COE 96 glass as a base One 1.5” x 2.5” streaky or swirly fusible COE 96 as a cap
Use mosaic nippers to cut facial features from a variety of COE 96 fusible stringers, sheet glass, rods and Dichroic glass. The rods can be nipped and turned up as a cylinder on the glass. These cylinders will fuse into round dots.
Use Elmer’s School Gel Glue to glue the facial features into place on the 1.5” x 2.5” piece of colorful glass.
Place one 4 inch 16 gauge bare copper wire in the middle of the bottom of the clear base with 3.5” of wire extending out off of the base. Place 3 or more 16 gauge bare copper wire pieces ranging from 1 to 3 inches long on the top of the clear base with at least ¼” of the wire remaining on the clear base.
Stack the colorful cap directly over the clear base on a tile covered with thin fire paper. Fire the tile and glass in a kiln at a rate of 350 degrees per hour to 1460 degrees and cool to 960 degrees and hold for 30 minutes.
After the glass has cooled, use sandpaper or other abrasive device to remove the brown oxidized copper from the wire. Click here to buy Wine Warden Kit Online
Using a thin long nail or punch, push a hole through
the center of a cork. Push the thicker copper wire through the cork. Create a
small hook at the end of the wire and pull the wire back through the cork
pushing the hook into the cork. Place beads on the copper wire on the top of the
face. Twist the copper to hold the beads into place. |
