Red Glass Basket Weave Vase

 

I’ve made fused glass basket weave vases similar to this one, using black and red iridized glass, and blue and orange OpalArt glass, etc.  I made a much larger red iridized glass, using 12 inch by 1/2 inch strips, but I had trouble getting it off the ceramic cone mold and ended up breaking a couple of end pieces off.  I gave it to my mother-in-law and she is thoroughly enjoying it.

For this fused glass vase, I used 9 inch by 1/2 inch strips and used my stainless steel cone mold.  The glass vase lifts right off the stainless steel cone molds.  I love these molds, because I don’t have to use thin fire shelf paper and any vase lifts right off.  I wish they made these stainless steel molds in taller sizes
