My first step has been to do a full fuse of the "ice". This time around I am using all Uroboros glass that has a COE of 90. The bottom layer was of a straight blue and whites glasses that I cut arcs in to simulate the house (read, target). I then place a whispy clear and white mixture glass on top. I think this does an excellent job at mimicking how this actually looks. In reality the pattern is painted first then water placed on top and frozen, so you get this kind of muted color with frosty bits on top.I did this with my regular full fuse schedule.
Next I am tacking on a curling stone piece that I had fused a while back when I did a mosaic piece that was part fused glass. I made a bunch of them when I did that project.
Once the tack is done, I will insert it in the box, and of course provide pictures :-).
Tack fuse schedule:
Segment | Ramp | Temp | Hold |
1 | 300° | 1150° | 30 |
2 | 400° | 1370° | 0 |
3 | AFAP | 950° | 60 |
4 | 150° | 800° | 10 |
