Fused glass pendants

Fused Glass Cabochons

These are some beginner cabochons I made from scrap glass. Most of these turned out OK. Some I used white pre made dots for embellishments. The second from the top left I used clear frit in the center crevice. The lower left one I used fuseable paint between layers and it caused the bubbles to form. Not what I had in mind. In the next photo I tried the paints again and put them on the top layer with better success. I think if You want the paints in the middle you would need to pre fuse the paint on the first layer then add the second layer and then full fuse everything to eliminate bubbles. The right bottom one had clear frit chunks on the purple area but they sunk in and disappeared. Lessons were learned on these.

Fused glass cabochons

These cabachons were more experiments. The glass painted ones were painted on the top clear layer over the opaque glass. The right top one is painted directly on the opaque glass. No clear cap, just clear on bottom. The second one on top has clear cap with paint on top of clear. The far left top is clear bottom layer, middle chunks of black, red, and dichroic, top layer clear again. The bottom row could be earrings.
