I often get told that some of my blankets look very complicated, and that is the beauty of this technique - it can look amazing, but actually isn't really that hard at all!</p><p>This pattern is just one square, but using a quilting technique to layer it up to create a log cabin effect. It is a wonderful stash buster - just make sure you have enough stash for a full line (I shall post the amounts needed below).</p><p>Every monday for 6 weeks, I will issue an update on this blog..... don't worry, it's not one of those waffly blogs where you have to read through LOADS of nonsense to get to the actual content. I can't be bothered to type all that and I am pretty sure you don't need to read it either :) </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a little intro for you.....</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ryK26dte-nc" width="320" youtube-src-id="ryK26dte-nc"></iframe></div><p>The 6 week schedule will look like this....</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 3pt;"><b><span style="color: purple; font-family: "Segoe Print"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Week 1.</span></b><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: #333333; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> make 4 squares & join</span><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: #333333; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Brynn. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This piece is created in three parts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1: making a glass ‘embryo’<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2: Carving a design<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3: Blowing the embryo into a sculpture or vase<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Embryo is made from glass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First a coloured piece which is then coated
in clear before being rolled in a thick coating of frit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Brynn did this part of the process/</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is then left to cool down in the annealer.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoUArBQbtDk_Bx8IJTBedcGl5dx5efrrJURVyeRUZZqSLGaSL0xWvmtynjlENYgUp1vsa8zt85MJ2tJlINAIy7oIuUXnjkfOvtNPa_Ji5aosLkWyiKSyxKrtR4Fh9Rk5tGMqNdnRa-3u4jqtNINZ5DHPWcYKsNHB7dPv2JqcTc0H_SlhEXPRWzpZrvLw/s640/IMG_2194.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoUArBQbtDk_Bx8IJTBedcGl5dx5efrrJURVyeRUZZqSLGaSL0xWvmtynjlENYgUp1vsa8zt85MJ2tJlINAIy7oIuUXnjkfOvtNPa_Ji5aosLkWyiKSyxKrtR4Fh9Rk5tGMqNdnRa-3u4jqtNINZ5DHPWcYKsNHB7dPv2JqcTc0H_SlhEXPRWzpZrvLw/s320/IMG_2194.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal">Next it was my job to create a design on the glass.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I covered it completely with a good strong masking tape,
then draw an illusion pattern design on it, before cutting it out with a super
sharp craft knife.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>

of glass – the frit rolled part. This
would then show through the clear layer to the colour underneath.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I thought the cutting took a long time then the
sandblasting took forever! I was soon
clocking up the hours on this piece.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWeGO418Hj5ZRdi4LLad-sSCKM1wSKAi8lk2c-GhSsdebekoAY183TGg_6HWnZlr2cqRFDtoePApkX7zj8f8gb3xwhtXUpurw0HMFuE3VmMp6k0Lh8ycC0n9Zv-Z_dKMAkdy5Jp0_K2f7Y_nhFAnoDOFqORi-oIqZgwGZ3-TXjjQVDmDytlCkCanGNgA/s640/IMG_3088.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWeGO418Hj5ZRdi4LLad-sSCKM1wSKAi8lk2c-GhSsdebekoAY183TGg_6HWnZlr2cqRFDtoePApkX7zj8f8gb3xwhtXUpurw0HMFuE3VmMp6k0Lh8ycC0n9Zv-Z_dKMAkdy5Jp0_K2f7Y_nhFAnoDOFqORi-oIqZgwGZ3-TXjjQVDmDytlCkCanGNgA/s320/IMG_3088.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal">Then I handed the piece back
to Brynn, who removed all the tape and put it in kiln to bring up to 550
degrees so he would be able to blow it.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Once at the correct temperature
it was lifted out of the kiln and warmed up some more in the Glory Hole.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Then it was time to blow…….</p><p class="MsoNormal">Brynn decided this piece
would be a sculpture. He has a little
cold working to do to make the bottom nice and smooth and so it stands up
properly.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">

kaleidoscope – the viewer will be made from mirrors and the discs will all be
different using various forms of architectural glass techniques.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First I need to make a viewer!</p>

stuck together in a triangle.</p>
