Project by Connie Deady from Santa Monica, Calif. Materials: large sheets of glass magic marker powdered glass (frit) sifter gold leafing glue wooden backing hooks for hanging Steps: 1. Cut class from larger piece to desired size. 2. Draw design on with marker. Reverse glass and trace over design. Turn glass over and wipe off first design. 3. With a tiny sifter and other tools, sprinkle the powdered glass (frit) into design areas like doing a paint by numbers painting. 4. Make a frame by cutting out red strips of glass from large sheet. Frame the edges of the large piece with the red strips. 5. Fuse in kiln at 1500 F degrees. This larger piece requires 24 hours for firing and cooling. 6. Glue gold leafing to back of glass and glue wooden backing. Place hooks on for hanging.
