Well... staff happens, it's life. I wanted to form in my large kiln clear glass wall divider panel with pale yellow rock accents fused into clear base with gold leaf interlayer. Glass layout looks good before firing. It will take 3 days to form the glass

It looks great after firing! Notice how nicely pale yellow rocks transmitted clear ice-cold base - great effect! I love it!

Well.. It was late, the guys were extremely tired and they did brake the  panel while removing it from the table. The good thing is nobody's hurt. The lesson learned: have a rest when tired - this may save few days of work. 

Eugene is pushing a table with glass into our Dragon Kiln. New project - new expectations. The texture will be imprinted into glass after firing.

Glass after firing looks good.

The glass is installed but not finished yet. 

Gold leaf accents are coming! Julia is a fairy of gilding and she started gold leaf accents gilding!

Here are some closed up details. The gold is still wet. When it is dry - it looks like a mirrow - smooth

Now it stands out even from the darkest shadows!
