To My Wife Card
HOW I MAKE THE CARD
I start by printing my design with message on locally sourced recycled paper. I hand cut each one and apply it to the front of the recycled kraft card.
The hole at the top is punched in, again each one is done by hand, waiting for the handmade fused glass keepsake to be applied.
To make the fused glass keepsake I use templates to create the shapes within the glass, and for this one I have a heart which I sprinkle mica over.
It is placed between layers of glass before I carefully place it into the kiln and fire it at 810°C.
Each piece sits in the kiln for around 30 hours and as they are handmade, each one may be slightly different.
