It is always nice to be challenged by students. This time J. wanted to make some small vessels for succulents and other purposes. And since I have all these little pieces of Kaiser Lee Board laying around, we just took two and tried. The glass does not have to be cut precise. But it should be at least 1.5″ (4 cm) bigger all the way around your mold. If not, you still have a nice container, but it would not hold any liquids. 

A single layer of glass is sufficient for this project. I chose Wissmach Glass 96-11 Honey Luminescent. Since it is a reverse project, the luminescent coating will show up on the top side once it is fired. To protect the luminescent during firing and also to give a little buffer for better release of the mold, I use a piece of fire paper the exact size as the glass.  Then I placed the small Kaiser Lee Board mold pieces on a carved Kaiser Lee Board shelf for additional interest and fired them.

Add this free project to my Drape e-book. Here you will find many more ideas for your fused glass drape projects.
