All Cut and Put Together
For this platter, I’ve chosen a variation on a theme. Black glass forms the base (7×14″), topped with the same size of clear glass, and then a single strip of dichroic glass that changes color from red to yellow.

Ready to Fuse
Placed on a primed kiln shelf (20×20″), the red sizzle platter is ready to fuse.
Below you see it fused.
03.
Ready to Slump
Because I like the rounded edges of the fully fused glass as is, it’s time to slump it.
Below you see it slumped into its mold.

Final Result
Dichroic glass makes this platter pop, but I can take credit for cutting straight lines. 🙂
Close-up
The champagne bubbles in the clear glass really give the platter some depth.
