There’s a LOT covered in this one!

I am totally loving this thermal shock process to create frit!

Cool processes-thanks for sharing!
I learned a simple formula to ensure you have enough glass for a melt. Volume of finished shape in cubic inches multiplied by density of glass (Bullseye is .09) = pounds of glass needed.
Example-7”x7” square that you want to be 3/8” thick would need 7x7x.375x.09=1.6538 pounds of glass-Enjoy!

I love you taking us along with you. I think it will make a great drop project.

Try breaking it again and fire again. Looks really cool

Yep, plastic bucket is absolutely fine! It's what I use also!

I cut p a pair of old jeans. It works great.

That large piece would be awesome "pressed!

I can’t wait to try this method of making frit ! Thank you for all your experiments !

I have some of that glass waiting for me at home, for class I bought from Tanya. Excited to play with it.

verb: fritized - the process of taking scrap and whatever to process into frit

The big piece might look good sliced up.

@rosalienellartglass 2 years ago

Drop would be cool, itmight also slice and be interesting as a feature with clear, lighter colors… next time you could try using the reactive frit bend as a cascade “feature”, or channel on a plainer platter… thanks for sharing!

Well just stumbled on your video so intrigued I’m going to try this. As long as this method works keep it going. I’m going to do the same, very cool I’m learning with you. Thank you. I love new ideas.

super fun... those big flows take a looooooooooooong time to spread to 6mm - you did great with this test!!

Thank you Jamaison for sharing, i am learning so much from you❤ It's going to be exiting to learn to do drop vessels, I have never try that 🤔

Hey! Just a thought but adding a bunch of clear frit in might have helped to avoid a brown out. Maybe 50% clear and 50% turq/vanilla mix. Since its not square, try doing a round deep drop out and see what happens.
