This year I've realized that I like making fused glass pieces more than I like selling fused glass pieces. Not a big fan of pictures and pricing and listing. I've really enjoy experimenting with different types of glass and different techniques. Below are some pendants I've made this year with etched Dichroic glass, I also experimented with various colors of transparent glass over the dichroic.
Above pendant is a Duncan etched dichroic with clear glass on top.
Above pendant is a Savoy etched dichroic. Unfortunately, Savoy has discontinued making the etched dichroic.
The above pendant is another Savoy etched dichroic.
Above pendant is a Duncan etched dichroic with blue transparent glass on top. The blue over the pink dichroic makes it look purple. Its a nice rich purple & this photo does not do it justice.

The above pendant is another Duncan etched dichroic. This one has an Orange transparent glass over the pink dichroic.
This is also a Duncan etched dichroic with red transparent on top. IT has a very rich red color to it.
This is yet another Duncan dichroic. This one has an orangey-red transparent over it. It is a little more to the orange side of red in color.
The above is a Firethings etched dichroic. I loved the lizard pattern on this one.
