Fused Glass Jewelry

I recently got to experiment with making fused glass jewelry. I didn't get too advanced with my designs, but concentrated more on having fun with colors. The first three pieces are pendants and the fourth one is a pin. I've been having a lot of fun learning how to work with glass like this.

I made these by arranging pieces of glass on either a clear glass or a white glass backing. The small pieces were affixed with a little bit of glue, and then everything was sandwiched together with a piece of clear glass on top. After the pieces were fired in a kiln, the pendant loops or pin backings were affixed to the glass with epoxy.
