This amazing human could use your help. She’s a dear friend. Please consider donating to her gofundme while she is recovering from a severely broken tibia sustained in a pedestrian-car collision.

Using Duncan Bright Gold onglaze in my glass and LOVING the results!
It does take a lower flame than I thought to get the lustre to come through (1250-1480F or 710-810C). And it polished w/ a Sunshine cloth!

Yesterday was, quite frankly, sh*t. But today, it’s going much better. Very excited that my gold lustre for ceramics WORKED on my glass loops.

While I was at it I pulled out some @bullseyeglass ribbon in white to see if they could be a glass loop candidate…love the results!!!
(Yes, it’s a tad burnt, but it looks and sounds so good!!)
