Making Frit Cast Rainbow Feathers

(you can find the video on my Pinterest if it's not working here)

 I've been obsessed with rainbows 🌈lately.  I just love the mixing of the colors and how cheerful rainbows in the sky are.. To me they've always been a symbol of hope and survival.  I say survival because I always seem to see them after bad storms and to me it means I've lived through the rough and came out better for it.  Hope because there should always be hope in everything we go through; hope for better, hope for happiness, hope for love, hope for strength.  Lord knows we need all of that in these stressful times. Enough of my soapbox and that's my semi deep thought for the day.  Back to what I'm creating.  

I'm using frit glass (bullseye glass) and putting in the feather mold. Once I'm done with my colors I then top it with clear glass. Firing it in the kiln to become one solid piece.



You can find these in my shop 3fatesfiber.com. I also have a fair amount of other rainbow things I've made; a flamingo, a soap dish, swizzle sticks.. Anyway here's a blurb about me and what I'm doing now heading back to my studio to make more rainbow items.. Stay colorful🌈 and have a good weekend!
