ADDING SILVER TO FUSED GLASS
If you ever file a fired silver clay piece for final shaping, do not discard the filings. They are beautiful when fused into glass jewelry.
Catch the filings with a piece of paper. After you have finished shaping the silver piece, fold the paper in half. Tap it so the silver powder falls into the fold. Then pour the filings from the corner of the fold onto a piece of clear fusible glass.
When fired between layers of clear glass, the silver will retain its original color and sheen, or it will turn yellow-gold.
