#85 Layering Etched Dichro

I show you several examples of layering etched dichroic glass. I was having so much fun with this one I kept adding more. At the end I add in a bonus project you can do with etched dichro. I hope this encourages you to try new things with your dichro.

I get my dichroic glass from DichroicInc.com. I use a lot of "Etched" & "Ripple" glass in this video (clear & black backed). I can't list them all so I'd suggest searching through their vast selection. Warning-They sell out fast.

Highlights-
1.Glass wants to be 6mm. If you stack more than 6mm it will grow during fusing. If you stack less than 6mm it will shrink.
2.Stacking etched dichro give the piece depth.
3.When stacking dichroic glass avoid putting dichro to dichro because it doesn't want to stick together. But if there is enough clear glass on the dichro like on some of the etched dichro it's possible to put dichro to dichro..
4.You can make stacks that are black backed (or any color you want) or clear backed.
5.For lightweight jewelry just cut a shape from the etched dichro and fire polish.
Fire Polish-AFAP to 1350˚F (730˚C) hold for 10 min.
AFAP=As Fast As Possible
