GLASS

Glass in mystical,
Thousands of year age, it
intrigued alchemists. Glass is solid
yet light in character. It is transparent.
It bring beams of light to life. Magical
displays of colors and refraction - just like water

Glass is a material unlike any other in the world.
It is hard, strong, brittle and smooth. It reflects light at
certain angels; at other, light passes straight through it.
Perhaps its most amazing characteristic is that in its purest form
- it is invisible, Although most glass has chemical additives or
colorants that render it visible, the only way you can see
a clean piece of optically clear glass is by the light reflected
 from its surface. When clear glass is etched, the design
becomes visible against the background of the “invisible”
unetched surface. The image appears to float in midair.
It somehow seems like magic

First, we prepare few piece of large plain glass.

2nd. we draw the layout on the paper, then only we draw onto the glass.

Next, we do the cutting according to the layout that drawn onto the glass.

Next, we add stardust onto the glass. This makes the layout more obvious the a normal drawing.

After adding stardust, we proceed to the heating process. We put the large glass into a big oven, and heat under the temperature of 1200-1500 Fahrenheit. After heating, you are able to see the texture on the glass.at the same time, the stardust is already stick onto the glass.
