Working Notes

Fusible / Bullseye-compatible.

Tiny metallic sparkles, also referred to as spangles, concentrate at the outer surfaces of the sheet glass in the factory-production forming process, including around the rolled edge. The core of the sheet is not metallic.

Seams between cut aventurine sheet glass typically fire with a darker solid line without sparkles. Left 001112 on top surface with base of 3mm clear. Right 001112 as base capped with 3mm clear. (3″x3″ samples)

Design opportunities and characteristics:

When fired to a full fuse, cut sheet glass elements used on the surface of a project fire with a solid, not sparkly border.
Explore displacement effects with the use of various clear or transparent glasses on the top surface to distort the surface.
Edge construction techniques typically result in an inhomogeneous sparkled result because the core of the sheet is not metallic.
