ArtGlass Clay and Dichroic Extract Flower Pendant Tutorial
With ArtGlass Clay, you can create unusual patterns and textures in glass easily and quickly. Art-Glass Clay has allowed me a freedom to work with glass in a new way. It gives the freedom to shape glass without heat into very detailed patterns or shapes. In keeping with my love of all things dichroic, I have chosen to use another new product called Dichroic Extract from Coatings by Sandberg to add the shimmer of color to the surface of my ArtGlass Clay work.
Here Are The Tools You Will Need:
Texture stamp sheet from BarbaraMcQuire.com
Silicone mold from Wilton.com for the flower
Clay circle die cutter from Wilton.com
Clay roller (I use a short piece of PVC pipe)
A freezer or dry ice
Small round or triangular diamond file
Sandpaper
Spray bottle with water or hair spray
Soft brush
Hot plate or oven
Kiln with controller
