I'm interested in making a set of zodiac pendants.
My idea is to make molds out of low fire clay, kilned at my kilns highest setting.
A basic picture of one main design
and the symbol that is in the background
I think if I used powdered frit, say Cobalt blue for main, and black for the symbol I could either melt this down in the kiln, or more quickly use the torch to melt it in. I'd then make a background implosion or other interesting thing, heat this and apply my pre-heated symbol, to the tacky glass, then heat both this and a clear disc for the window on top and press them together. Finally, heat the whole piece to bond them nicely. I think this may work but hoped someone has used a similar technique and can give me some pointers.
