Sorcery
For the green lines I used Spring Green Transparent 2mm stringer (all of the glass in this project is made by Bullseye). For the blue, I used Turquoise Blue Transparent 2mm stringer. For the yellow, Medium Amber Transparent 2mm stringer. And of course, I used Fused Glass Bubble Sorcery.

Fully Fused
From here, that looks like a flat and fully fused piece of glass.

Ready to Slump
Now that the glass is fully fused and flat, we’re ready to give it a final form. From the start this project has been designed for the Square Slumper mold, No. 8635 (8.5 x 8.5 x 1.5 inches).

Third Time in the Kiln
At the back right is the fused glass, centered on the slump mold, balanced at just the four corners.

Slumped
For once I’ve remembered to photograph the slumped pieces in the kiln! That’s the end of this project.

Final Result
I made this plate at the same time I made the red version. Although all of the steps are the same, some of the photos are different, if you want to check it out. That makes this my third bubble plate, and I don’t think I’m done with this fun effect yet.
Close-up One
Couldn’t resist a couple of close-ups.
Close-up Two
Last one, I promise.
We’re blown away by your talent and attention to detail! I love seeing and reading about your process, step-by-step. What a beautiful effect the bubbles make! We love this piece. Thank you, T!
Oh goodness, Shawn! You’re so welcome! High praise from someone who’s done way more art than me. 🙂 It was great seeing you both!
