Rhonda,
Check out my pics on the picture page. "Fused Panels"

Robyn,
I have had no success trying to screen micas and klyr fire. The mixture is to thin and spreads badly even using a high mesh screen. You need to find a mixing medium with a much thicker consistency that isnt toxic when you fire it.

Tony,
I was under the impression that there would be a chance of ingesting
the micas. I didnt want to poison my client base, but if there is little or no risk of ingestion put some pasta in them and have a party.


Thanks for the info Toney

Nita, I fused the clear and black together first, then applied mica's. Capping micas can be kind of tricky, if ther kiln is to hot they sink and disapear, to cool and they can create air bubbles in you cap. So I say why risk it, put them on top and tell your buyer not to eat off of it. Some things a...
