Welcome to my recycled glass blog. This blog first began as an effort to document my recycled glass work on an Individual Artist Grant. After the project was completed, I decided to continue the blog to provide a comprehensive source for information about recycled glass, art and design.

Black Plate Glass Dragonfly with Thompson Enamels
I added white enamel (window glass compatible) to the wings and cobalt enamel to the body. The original glass was black plate glass that an auto window repair place was going to throw away. The auto window business referred to it as "bronzed glass." The enamels were fully melted by 1360 degrees. I placed the white enamel only on top of the wings since I wanted the texture and color of the original glass to be visible.
