Beyond proud of my two kids, their patience, and what they've created! Began by making premade fused glass elements with a couple of different stencil techniques, then full fused them on a base adding frit and stringer, finally a third firing for paint. They were frustrated at first working with the paint, but they hung with it and eventually loosened up. What fun!
