New Art Glass Decor Design: Fused Glass Business Card Holder

I've just added a new fused glass business card holder design that I hope you'll love! I've created my own mold using Kaiser Lee Board so this is a Diva Art Glass Original!

It is ~ 3 3/4 x 4 3/4 inches and can be made in a variety of colors and options (more than one color and frit decoration).

As each is business card holder is cut by hand, please allow for slight variations in the glass when it slumps.

I used Bullseye 90 COE Streakies Royal Purple, Powder Blue Opal to create the design shown. My husband loved it so much he snagged it for the office!

The introductory price (through the end of May) will be $16.50+ shipping/handling. After June 1st, the price will be $19.95 .

Please allow up to 2 weeks for your order to be filled in case your glass color choice has to be ordered. In most cases, your item will be shipped within 3 business days of your order. Contact me if you have any questions prior to ordering.

Checkered Green & Orange Fused Glass Plate

I'm still experimenting with my medium of the moment, Warm Glass! I just love the way this "wavy/ruffled" oh so happy colored checkered serving plate turned out!

I used Bullseye (BE) 90 COE opalescent glass-green & orange. I cut two 3 inch squares for each color. I laid them down with the opalescent on the kiln paper. I added a 6 1/8 inch square piece of irridized glass on top and did a full fuse in my kiln, annealed and waited patiently until it cooled ( the oh so hard part...it is so tempting to peek!)

I cold worked the edges by beveling with my grinder and then giving the edges a good clean with a wire brush and water.

I "dusted" ceramic fiber blanket "chunks" with kiln wash* and placed them randomly along the outer edges of the square plate (the plate has been flipped so the irridized glass is now on the bottom) making sure the chunks allowed the plate to slump in the middle.

I then placed this set up in the kiln and slumped, annealed and once again waited patiently for the plate to cool.

I love the "organic" wave/ruffle design on the outer edges of this design and the bold, bright and happy colors!

Checkers with a twist anyone? :)

P.S.
I got this "dusting tip" from the Warm Glass boards. If you are a fused glass addict like myself, it is a wonderful resource!
