There are two types of glass we use in our classes. Fusible glass can be put into a kiln and will melt and fuse to itself, creating lovely rounded edges. Non-fusible glass is used for leading work or copper foiling. I wanted to use up some of the fusible glass I have so I chose a large piece and cut a square, then just began layering other colours and transparent glass on top.
So above is how it looked before it went in the kiln and below is after the kiln.
This photo is taken on a white piece of paper and makes the colours look quite thick and very blue. It's so hard to photograph things like this, especially when, like me, you're rubbish at taking photos.
I held it up to the light. This shows it off a bit better, but it's still not a great representation.
I'm sure you're all now wondering "what is it?". It's a .... thing. Yes, one of those ... things.

I'm not sure that pieces of art can be described as a thing. Say it's art. Art dahlink, art don't you know!
How are you feeling today then?
Oh, I love your thing, the layers are so effective
it's a beautiful "thing". you're so creative
That is soooo cool and beautiful! I love the colours! It's very Mondrian-like.
In my house it would be a thingy, which i think is the same thing as your thing, maybe!
That is SUCH a cool "thing" - I'm glad you posted the before and after pictures - I've never fused glass, although I've fused interfacing to my iron and ironing board by mistake - OOPS!
Love the before and after pics, what a cool process! Your 'thing' if gorgeous!
