Glass fusing

The finely chiselled metal sheet is then fused to the glass surface which is absolutely bubble free and 1/16 inch thick. Transparent red, green and blue glass are the most popular - the color intentionally suggesting ruby, emerald and sapphire. Different shapes including rectangles, ovals, hexagons and circles are cut using a sharp glass cutter. Safety eyewear is advised during this process. Most artists do not allow anyone to see this process and maintain it as a family secret.
