Not so long back, I treated myself to some dichroic glass cabochons as I had decided I was at the stage of working with silver clay where I felt I was confident enough to try and incorporate them into my work as I think dichroic glass is so beautiful. My first few attempts were a bit of a disaster, because for some reason, when fired, the colour on the backs of the cabochons leaked out leaving clear glass where there should have been colour. I was really disappointed as the pieces were some of the best i'd made so far in my journey of "Shinyness Making". After lots of figuring out where i'd gone wrong and a few more attempts to get it right,(some ok, some disasters),I tried again with success this time.
Here are some of the more successful pieces I ended up with, starting in numerical order from first to last. I'm hoping you think I've improved as I've gone along......
