Jasmine's Hand & Foot Prints





I'm quite please with the results. I needed to uses a bit more glass in a few of them & also I have got different results from the different glasses I have used. Also the way the glass has been placed in the mould has had an effect. So lots to learn, but the firing cycle was good for the bullseye glass but needs to be higher for artista. I love the bottom two casts the best. One uses course clear frit and the other light plum bullseye glass. Now to see what I do with them next.......

Ready for Firing



Here are a few of the moulds of Jasmine's hand & footprints with the glass added ready to fire in the kiln. I have used a few different types of glass to see the different effects I might get. I can't wait to see the results I get.

Moulds Are Made




I finally got time to make the moulds to cast Jasmine's hand & footprints. I just need to allow them to dry for a while before firing in the kiln. Then I can place the glass in them and fire them in the kiln. Watch this space!

Jasmine's Hand & Foot Prints



I took the opportunity to take some imprints of Jasmines hand & footprints when I was over in Wales. Watch this space to see what I do with them.
