Unexpected design opportunity........

fused glass plate
Well, today I have an unexpected design opportunity. ;)

The 6" square plate that I was fusing in the kiln "cracked" and slipped down the sides of the mold. Thank goodness my mold and kiln shelf are coated with kiln powder (glass release)!!

At first it made me so sad, because I really liked the design.....but now I have the chance to make it into something even better. The cool thing about glass is you can just "fuse" it again and no harm done! :)

I haven't had a fused glass oops in a while .......just reminded me I still have lots to learn about this amazing medium.
