I came across this site in my search of the intertubes... Apparently all it takes is some rubbing alcohol, dish detergent, and mica powder, but the specifics are very non-specific. https://www.gofusing.com/how-to-iridize-glass/ Does anyone have any experience with this technique?

I generally use a spreadsheet program, like MS Excel. I highlight the cells in different colors, and can move them around easily, insert additional cell, rows, or columns.

It's no dumber on Facebook than anywhere else... ... Don't despise these folks. Encourage them, help them, and keep them coming back for more. At some point, they're gonna get good enough to despise US. Cynthia, you have been one of my favorite personalities on this board since the moment I joined,...

Wow, both the pyramid and the bowl are spectacular!

Most fibre products turn brown on the initial heating, then return to white as the temperature rises. Having only brought it to 135c, you've only partially burned out the organics. Your fibre board should return to white as you bring it hotter in actual use.

I would try something like "Flexi-Glass". Make a sheet of dark Flexi, cut the letters out with stencils and an exacto-knife, and fuse them capped with 2mm clear. Simple, quick, cheap, and as legible as your skill in cutting allows. You may even be able to cut the Flexi-glass directly with ...
