Glass Swatches

These pieces are just paper weights / tea light holders that I made over the summer as part of my 31 Days of Waxes. I think I did these pieces as a way to work through different textures and find ones that I liked. So that's why this blog post is called Glass Swatches, because as far as I'm concerned tea light holders are my equivalent of tab sketches or mini canvases.

I skipped this program forward at "16:31" because it was actually approximately 2:30 into the melt. When the kiln drops to 849º instead of 850º, the glass is still melting, but the kiln has stopped counting the time. So you have to watch out for issues like that!
