@Sammster how do you get the lines on the ornaments...is that a sort of marker or paint you use?

This batch of ornaments are done. I might add little bows to the hens' aprons. Next, I want to work up a dinosaur for my grandson. Or... maybe BlueyView attachment 3696430View attachment 3696431View attachment 3696432View attachment 3696433View attachment 3696446View attachment 3696447View attachment 3696448View attachment 3696449

Glass paint. Glass, ground into a powder, and mixed with a flow-medium (like aloe). Painted on before the second firing. But when I personalize ornaments (after they're complete) I use enamel paints

Those are amazing! They look great

This is a technique called "Eden", where special frits with hints of lead are arranged and fired at very high temps, causing them to "blossom". Some colors bloom better than others.
I plan on Cold-working these into night lights and possibly Keychains or fan pulls. In a couple days, I plan to try out my new Porter Cable, Table-Top wet saw ~ along with my glass saw and grinders. Then I will give them a polish-fire and attach hardware.
Christmas gifts ~ provided I'm happy with them
