great for salad plates, September 20, 2020 5 stars
Pros
I have a few of these I use to make salad plates! They are a great size and the shape and curve is modern.
Cons
Other Thoughts
be sure you get the piece on very straight, so that it slumps straight.

love this glass for window ornaments, September 20, 2020 5 stars
Pros
incredibly beautiful christmas ornaments and suncatchers

if you accidentally fire the wrong side up the coating will disappear. This isn't terrible, but it is something to be mindful of
Other Thoughts
I like the longer length of the sheets, perfect for larger projects!

beautiful flower, September 5, 2020 5 stars
Pros
large sunflower! great for gardens and as appetizer/dessert plates, like the smaller one, this mold has many beautiful details! use ZYP to protect your mold and keep the glass from sticking and ruining it.
Cons
Other Thoughts
use powder frit on petals to highlight them. then backfill with fine and then medium frit. you can also use scrap glass to backfill

beautiful blossoms, May 26, 2017 5 stars
Pros
I love the spring look of cherry blossoms! The pattern is delicate looking and lovely. It is a large enough tile to make many different sizes of platters or a couple coasters at a time.
Cons
Other Thoughts
I used primo primer--I might have gotten a bit too much as the details weren't as crisp or deep as I would have liked--although I did use float glass which doesn't melt as well as regular fusing glass. I will try again with different glass. Its not a con, truly, if you like cherry blossoms this texture tile is for you!

great for cutting shapes!, May 15, 2017 5 stars
Pros
I use this fiber paper to die cut with my paper crafting dies. Then I place the die cut under my glass and it embosses/kiln carves my glass perfectly and uniquely!
Cons
Other Thoughts
If you use this with paper crafting dies--- a good idea is to put wax paper between the fiber paper and the die to make the die cut pop out of the die easier. otherwise it can rip, which is a disappointing and expensive waste of kiln paper. :)

beautiful and elegant, May 15, 2017 5 stars
Pros
This is an amazingly beautiful texture tile!! It's beautifully detailed and is large enough for multiple sizes to be made. The details come out deep and beautiful and perfect for the 6 mm of glass.
Cons
Other Thoughts
I know the pdf says you can put the glass directly on the texture mold without fusing it together first, but.....I made my piece ahead of time from deep aqua and icicle clear, then put it on the tile and full fused again. then slumped at 1200 to get a sushi platter. The low slumping temp kept all the details I didn't want ruined. When the light shines through this piece it is absolutely stunning!

economical glass, November 4, 2016 5 stars
Pros
I bought this glass in box of 6"x12" studio pieces. it was economical for small projects.
Cons
yes, there are some small bubbles when you fuse, but I think they make my projects unique and one of a kind.
Other Thoughts
It no longer comes in a box of 30 6x12 pieces, you can buy on this listing by the 12 x12 sheet now. Still economical compared with other options if you don't need crystal clear.

lovely white and clear streeky glass, September 20, 2016 5 stars
Pros
perfect for my project
Cons
some spots have a rough texture so be careful cutting it.
Other Thoughts
I used this glass to make the fins and tails for some glass koi fish my son's "pond" bathroom floor. They turned out beautiful!!! I used other colors for the fish bodies, but the fins and tails really look like they are moving in the "water" mosaic on the floor. Oh, so lovely!! I capped it with clear when fusing the fish. The floor is a mix of handmade ceramic tile and glass koi fish.

lovely for accents, September 20, 2016 5 stars
Pros
great to use in jewelry casting molds with other frits
Cons
Other Thoughts
I like sprinkling this on the top of my frit in my necklace molds. It's shiny, its a bit of unexpected bling added. I try to make sure it's covered with clear frit or it can have a rough texture. I use tweezers to make sure the colored parts of the bits are facing the right direction for mold.

This is a fast way to make lovely Christmas ornaments for presents or for your vendor booth. :) I use coarse iridescent frit for the bottom part and medium water clear for the loop.
