The Dragonfly casting mold LF182 from Creative Paradise project was a lot of fun to take my spin on using Hues 2 Fuse fired glass enamels on painted panels in combination with frit for casting. Below are PDF files you may download to use creating the Dragonfly Pond.

The firing schedule is what I used in my JenKen Profusion 16 and COE96 glass. You may need to make adjustments to your kiln and glass type for this project.

​Many artists casting this piece have included wire hangers embedded in the frit in the final firing or used fiber paper to create a recessed area in the back for gluing copper fittings to receive tubing for garden or planter display. Those choices are up to the individual and not included in the PDF for painting the dragonfly.
