Fused Glass Hand

I have always wanted to work with glass. In a previous post, I made the stained glass hand, which was really fun, but I still want to do more. While aisle wandering at Hobby Lobby, I found a home glass fusing kit that you can fuse glass in your home microwave! I was so excited. I have always wanted a kiln to fire pottery and glass. It is too small for pottery, but it fits little pieces of jewelry perfectly. So, with coupon in hand, I returned to Hobby Lobby today to purchase my mini kiln. It was really fun to use but you had to keep the item in the kiln for 30 minutes, the suspense kills me, but the end result is super cool. I will have to make this into a necklace pendant and wear it around town. Hopefully I can learn more techniques using glass.
