Bullseye glass shrinkage after fusing

Hello, looking for some tips on how to anticipate fuse shrinkage while fusing Bullseye glass. All thoughts/comments welcome! I'm getting ready to make 2 fused pieces.

Hello! Thanks in advance for your answers! We're fusing / casting BE glass into a self-made mold 23 x 90 cm (9 x 35 in) for eventual use in a lamp. A single piece of white BE was placed in each form, and then pieces of colored and transparent glass were artfully strewed over it. The side supports ar...

fused glass with "lollipop" support - how?

Hello, I'm making some fused glass pieces that will be on aluminum stick supports. It will look something like a lollipop when finished (but much bigger of course).
