Lovely Llama Platter (Part 2) Fused Glass Project
In this project, we’re going to use the strip construction method to create a pattern that includes 2 Llamas, for a lovely platter.

So, what is the difference between a glass kiln and a ceramic kiln?Â
This is crystal dichroic material that will be cut into an oval shape.
The material I’m using here to cut this cushion cabochon promised something special. The rough had a rich blue colour with flashes of gold and pink.
This video tutorial covers me hand cutting a piece of seam, or banded, dichroic fused glass. This is something I made as an experiment. It’s a mix of opaque and crystal, and hence needs to be set in tha appropriate setting.
In this video tutorial I’ll show how I cut an oval cabochon from some experimental rough material. This material is similar to Jefanite, but is basically dichroic glass on a red background.
This piece of dark blue dichroic fused glass was hand cut into a long cushion shape. While it is dark, rich blue splashes do make it a beautiful and mysterious piece.
This odd piece Jefanite fused glass was not initially thought to be of much value, But I persisted and cut it into a teardrop shape.
This is a dichroic cabochon as it came out of the kiln. Like many cabs straight from the kiln they could do with some cold working. So I set about hand cutting this cab into a better oval shape.
This piece of Jefanite will cut into a beautiful stone. It has a purple shimmer over blue background and golden pinfire. I will be cutting it into a wide oval shape.
