Sounds pretty cool doesn’t it, paper that you can fuse in between layers of glass to give added texture and patterns.
This is another product that I get students to play with with teaching when teaching images on glass. It is a paper that can be fired at high temperatures between layers of glass. The paper does not burn off or warp and colurs stay bright and vibrant.
The samples of the cabochons below is using the Fusible crinkle paper in pretty mauve colour. The paper looks like crumpled up paper that has been painted and then flattened. I use these 2 examples of the paper so that people get an idea of what it looks like when fused between glass. When people have a visual of what a product will look like its easier for them to then design and create somthing using the paper.
Using this product is very easy it can be used as you would any other paper. So you can cut it using scissors, plain or the fancy serrated scissors. Use paper punchies to punch out interesting shapes to fuse into your work.
As you will see in the above image you can still see the paper, its not like a decal in that the paper burns off and leaves the colour behind. The paper stays there. You also need to leave a border around the edge of the paper otherwise the glass will not fuse correctly.
Its a great product that has many possibilities.
