For anyone interested, I did an online fusing presentation a few weeks back on making sushi type trays with a pattern bar design. It is a step by step description with pictures. It has just been archived at http://www.ebsqart.com/Education.asp under Fused Glass in the Live!Archives on the left side of the page.

Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
great presentation Lisa, I'm a visual learner, you can explain and describe all you want sometimes but unless I can SEE it, sometimes I just don't get it.
Thank you SO much for posting this. New ideas are rolling around my head already.

Lisa-
Thanks so much for showing us the steps to making pattern bar trays! I have admired every picture you've posted and have wondered how you got such beautiful and interesting slices of glass.

That is a very well done presentation. Great pictures and informative text. How long will it stay up on that website?
I have been wondering if your pieces with the long sliced pattern bars that you have posted pictures of are the same two layer bases. There doesn't seem to be much spreading from the extra layers.
Lisa, WOW are we impressed. You did a great job so well organized and clearly stated. The pictures are wonderful for us visual people. Give yourself a big pat on the back. Keep your posts coming we certainly enjoy seeing them. Carole.....S. C.
Super demo. You have given a lot of us new ideas, and thank you so much for sharing.
Two questions. What is the mold you are using and where do you get the marbles. Seems easier then cutting and glueing Pyrex rods

OK third question, much humble apologie. RE hold at anneal. I don;t hold anywhere as long a3 hours. Is it your normal or is it because of the inclusions of pattern bars ? ( i could just be wrong to!!)
Lisa: Super demo, and an excellent, clear, informative write-up! Your pictures are especially nice...bright, clear and to-the-point, and uncluttered. Well done, and kudos to you! Your presentation would be a very useful item for the archives or FAQs, if that's possible.
All of the above. Thanks for the presentation. I was also wondering about the 3 hour hold during annealing, (for the slump). I usually use the same hold as I did for the fuse. Is it because of the pattern bars or is it just being safe?
I really enjoyed your presentation and learned some new info. I like your idea of adding marbles for feet. How do you attach the marbles. Just with a clear epoxy? thanks again for the great presentation. Cathy
