Appreciate all the suggestions, I really wish I could afford the dicroic, perhaps there's a way to silkscreen glaze or some glass painting/etching product on a disc of glass? Walmart has the "Mayco Stroke and Coat Wonderglaze Non-Toxic Glaze Set B, 2 oz Bottle, Assorted Colors, Set of 12" glaze. I have silkscreen setup, perhaps this is an idea. Any takers on this route? I know that Ive found people that mix glass and ceramics, people put gemstones and other objects in glass. Maybe I can make these out of clay, glaze them then fuse them in the pieces, or just silkscreen the glaze on a disc of boro and put it right in the piece. These simple patterns are a testbed for much more complicated work I have planned, well, that I dream of doing anyway.
