#Thrift

As you probably know from my previous videos, I love going thrifting (and hunting through clearance sections) to find items I can use in my glasswork. This vase in a stand did not disappoint! I brought it home, donated the glass vase, and kept the stand as inspiration for my latest creation! #Upcycling at its finest!

First firing of the glass scrap to make my background:
400-1100-45
50-1225-90 (extra long bubble squeeze)
600-1480-20
9999-900-3 hours (long anneal for thicker piece)
100-600-off

Tack fused floral components:
400-1280-10
9999-900-2 hours (longer anneal for thickness of tulip)
Off (no further ramp down)

Final contour fuse of final panel with all components added:
150-900-0 (slow initial ramp because of thickness of base and some components)
300-1250-30 (not much bubble squeeze needed but a soak here warms everything up evenly)
600-1350-10
9999-900-8 hours (so much thickness and contour fuse calls for extra conservative hold)
50-700-0 (conservative, slow ramp down)
100-300-0
