I remembered from something that I cover a circle with pebbles then tac and slump. I have one layer circle and covered it with pebbles. Need suggestions for firing schedule - I don't want to loose the texture but I want the pebbles to most definately be attached. Thanks

Glass pebbles or rock pebbles?
Glass will work, rocks will not.

I think she means fused glass "pebbles" that you make from breaking up a pattern bar or pot melt. Kinda like frit balls.
I have used either the 2-layer or the 3-layer fusing schedules for a tack fuse on fusedglass.org Depends on how thick your base circle is and how thick your pebbles are. You want to use the thickest measurement in your calculations.
