Hi Steph,
followed you here from FH. Just thought I would say how much I love those cocktail sticks, the colours are stunning.

Thanks for your interest in my glassy blog. I love to hear feedback so fire away...

Glassy Glossary:

fusing: high-temperature firing of glass in a kiln to make something wonderful!

firing: melting the glass in the kiln

full fuse: all pieces of glass melt into one layer with rounded edges (most common in my work)

tack fuse: using the kiln to 'glue' the glass layers together which keeps the shape of the glass (defined layers, but not sharp at all). No glue involved, just the special temperature in the kiln.

WIP: work in progress

striking glass: my work!! ...just kidding! this is glass which looks one colour before firing but another when fired. If you didn't know what you were doing this would be very confusing - luckily I do!
