Re: photo copying on to glass

Have you come across any way to do this at home with black instead of the Sepia from the high iron? If I could do black at home, I'd be set. -BEP Andrea, I use an HP laser jet printer. The "ink" needs to have a high iron content as that is what makes the nice sepia image when fired. I orde...

Less expensive than a class and you'll have it forever for reference. There are also tutorials on this site. Jen

I was just about to post a question on this. I'm about to make my first slumped item and it's a lot like the ashtray here. It will be 3 layers. Should the 3 layers be fused flat first, then slumped?
