'Nesting Loon'

Step 1- Lay out the background of the piece.  I added some frit to the nest and some stringers to suggest reeds.
Full fuse firing.

Step 2: Add some details to the fused piece.  More reeds, more detail to the nest, a dichroic dragonfly.
Contour fuse.

Step 3:  The contour fused piece is placed on a sconce mold and returned to the kiln for a drape fusing.

Step 4: Fusible paint is used to add feather details and fused once more.
