Well I finally made a full fused glass butterfly pendant! Something people have been asking me to make ever since I started to make my fused glass wings. This one is based on blue morpho butterfly that is made with a blue, teal and purple mixed dichroic glass. Unfortunately cameras hate that combination so you cant really see the mix in photos very well. I am working on a monarch butterfly next.
All glass is hand cut and shaped by me and is fired in my kiln at 1500 degrees to get this wonderful shape. All my pieces are properly annealed for durability. This piece is 100% glass not paper or paint on glass.
Its harder because I have to eyeball it. Originally the outside line was just going to be there for me to have something to follow when I was shaping it but I liked it so much I decided to keep it :3
