Glass fusion - Pendants

As promised earlier, some of my latest pendants done through glass fusion...


There are two main techniques in fusion:
  • Full fusion - examples are the 1st pendant (light green) and the blue one in the middle pic. In this case, all pieces of glass are fused at a higher temperature and it becomes flat
  • Partial fusion - the last pendant as well as the yellowish in the middle are examples. Those pendants are fused at lower temperature and the result is that it keeps the pendant just like you design it with all the different little pieces; they just round up on the borders
Next time, I'll try to make some matching earrings. We'll see what I get!
