The Cassowary File

I normally work with plain old clear glass, but I secretly lust after the lovely shiny colour variety, but alas my pockets are deep and my arm short.
So I am trying some locally made glass enamel.
Not really knowing the effects I will get from different thickness and strengths of the glass enamel, I treated this as a painting exercise. The FastBright colours come in a pre-mixed form and have been diluted with water. Firing range is 590 c - 830 c
The glass is 8mm clear float.




Cassowary unfired.



After the firing.
Schedule: 250 C @ 240 dph
650 C @ 400 dph
650 C held for 10 minutes
Cool to room temp
The colours have not changed greatly with the firing with a satin finish. Higher temperatures may yield a glossier finish. (Next project)
