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		 Cons
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!, January 29, 2018 5 stars
Pros
Price!! such a great price for such a beautiful piece of glass!		 Cons
 Other Thoughts
Follow the "rules" for firing this glass. I have made several lovely pieces with this glass- but you have to fire the coated side down. Cap the uncoated side and you will love this glass. I have fired up to 1450 in my paragon kiln for a full fuse and then slumped to 1300 with great success! There are pics in my gallery of some of my projects with this glass.

beautiful glass!, January 28, 2018 5 stars
Pros
Beautiful glass! Love the luminescent colors! A really great price!		 Cons
 Other Thoughts
You have to put the coating side down on your kiln shelf with kiln paper. Do not cap the coated side and the coating will stay. Put your clear cap on the non-coated side and creates beautiful depth of color- Especially with a texture tile! or a textured mold. Try it!
Cherry Blossom Texture Mold

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. :)
