Colourizing decals

I’m procrastinating doing some work that I -need- to do by doing some optional, kinda fun work. Well, things are getting done 😏.

Here I am adding glass 'paint' to the printed images, to be fired inside the glass. This may or may not work. 

Continuing painterly evergreen tree tests

I’ve made a couple mini batches of this new type of evergreen tree pendant based on my samples.🌲 The top row was supposed to have a different blue but I could not remember how to recreate it. 🤷‍♀️ I’ll keep playing around with the glass paints and possibly take better notes next time!

And here is the tree that inspired this design...

Fun new type of earrings

These are a bit different. I've been experimenting with pressing designs into glass. For these pieces, I've applied an oven-cured paint and then sanded the glass to a matte finish, leaving only the metallic colour in the debossed design. Next, the corners will be softened. Then I'll match them up, or mis-match them, into fun drop earrings. 

Results!

I like many of the colour combos. It will be hard to narrow it down!

As you can see, the tree image is now brown. The black pigment has burned away in the kiln, leaving the image composed of iron oxide. 

Painterly evergreen pendant tests

I was captivated by this tall evergreen in my neighbourhood and luckily, I was able to get a photo of the full tree. Here, I've pressed the images onto the glass and am testing various colours and thicknesses of high-temperature glass paint.
