What can you do with a texture tile?<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s fun to play with clay – it’s a nice change from glass – but once you’ve made that awesome texture tile what do you do with it? There is a detailed blog post here if you want to create your own: Texture Tile Molds for Fused Glass<\/a> Thanks Jodi McRaney Rusho and Glass With a Past!<\/div>\n

Since I already had some autumn leaf colored glass on hand I thought I’d start with this tile:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0I didn’t have a final project in mind, I just started out making some leaves and let the inspiration take over… First was a gold square.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Next came the bright red square.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
After a fail with a green square I tried some clear glass with confetti glass spread on the tile. Then I laid it all out with a nice colorful border and clear nuggets.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Copper was the perfect color to accent my glass choices so I foiled each piece and soldered it all together. Because the texture tile pieces were pretty uneven at the edges I used a decorative soldering technique.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Cleaned and polished and it’s all ready to hang in a window. Finished size: 16.5″ x 16.5″<\/p>\n

This lovely piece is available for purchase at the Glass in the Garden Show at Red Butte Garden.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
