I was just wondering if I was making a glass fused pendant, could I add some spots and stuff, detail etc with heated glass rods?? Anybody know??
If your kiln is next to your Lampworking torch then yes . You could gently heat them up in the kiln then once hot enough add a punty and gently introduce the piece to the flame(I did once hear that the best way to do this is to use a wooden peg to take it out of the kiln as it doesn't leave a mark and then add a punty)..the only draw back is that you would have to use like for like glass. I use bullseye for fused work and so I use bullseye rods for decoration.
Hope that made sense
My advice is, have a play about! What have you got to loose?
