Round two of the trash to treasure experiment π
This time the glass blurred together even more, exactly what I was hoping for. But it wasn't all smooth sailing... part of it cracked during the process.
Could be a few reasons why. Maybe it needed a longer annealing time, or maybe some of the glass types just weren't compatible with each other. Different glass has different COE (coefficient of expansion), basically how it heats, cools, and shrinks. When those rates don't match, cracks happen.
Still learning something new with every melt. That's the fun of it.
