Hi Helen,

Have you checked the Bullseye Tech Notes - they are great, has all the info you could ask for.

Think this is the one who gives the tack fuse details.

Sorry Steph I haven't - I've been meaning to have a play with tack fusing, but not got round to it yet.  It's on my ever expanding list of things to do.   I've got to make a beady zoo now...I might be some time!  LOL!

And hi Petra!  Lovely to see you here.

Hi Steph, I dont know whether this is any help to you but I have just finished some 30cm x 10cm panels in a textured design (tack fused i guess you may call it). They have come out just perfect, rounded edges, strong texture, all pieces have slumped over each other nicely. I used your full fuse schedule but dropped the top temperature to 730 degrees centigrade (held for 10 mins).

as far as i can gather pam, that's the way you do it. keep the same schedule for full fuse but reduce that top temperature

ps: got photos of these pieces?

I'LL post them tonight when I am back from work.

OOOoohhhhh yummy !!!! I love tack fused stuff...... it's so very tactile !!!

[Pam]

As promised. What do you think?

That is gorgeous Pam, I have some pictures of my newbie tack fusing that I must post in my diary link but youve kind of put me to shame now with your lovliness

[handmadeheaven.biz]

oo, they're lovely pam. i particularly like the bottom one. how are you going to display them?

Well, I have lots of ideas but the easiest (for me that is ) was to put them in a block of wood. Hubby bought some 4 inch whoops 10cm oak, routered it and put a slit in the middle for thme to stand in. Looks quite classy.
