I have been making Christmas ornaments every year as gifts for decades.
This year it was fused glass snowflakes. Since I didn’t start fusing in June–my kiln can only fit one at a time and my work is subject to thermal shock if I fuse when it’s really cold in the garage–I had to go to the glass shop to cook these.
I cut all the glass at home, transported it to Stained Glass of Marin for a drop in class and assembled on a tray there. I made 36 but I’m so in love with fused glass snowflakes that I could have kept going. I think I’ll drop in for another day to make some that are a little more complicated.
I finished them with a wire wrap and coordinating ribbon. Did I mention I’m in LOVE with these?
There was some extra room on a tack fuse tray so I made a few trees too.
Already thinking about next year’s ornaments…
