This is my first attempt at fusing, have read books and have been checking out the Bulletin Board Forums. Made a picture frame using Sys 96 glass, it came out ok for my first try. But i thought it would look better capped with clear glass. Fused piece again but about 2/3rds of it came out hazy, the ...
