The other pieces from the glass fusing class came out great. The dolphin piece is not curved enough for a true bowl, but rather rounded for a plate. But it looks good. The napkin holder--pressed into service to hold a notepad and pencil--looks terrific. And the pendants are marvelous. I want to make one more pendant, but that's probably it.

When I went in this morning to pick things up, I also made two more 7" square plates. (These should be much flatter.) They are the same pattern, a simple nine-patch quilt pattern, using the swirly glass. One has a white base/background with both the blue and green for the design, the other has a green base with just the blue. I was tempted to make another with the swirly orange as a base, but the blue is slightly translucent and would turn muddy on that, so I refrained.

I'm glad I didn't use the orange for a plate. One of the pendants used the orange, and it turned brown in the kiln. Its intended recipient will still like it, but it's not what I wanted/expected.
