fresh from the magical glass workshop kiln of my partner Heidi Roizen. I am soooo happy with how it turned out (I’ll add build shots in the comments below).
I cut all of the glass to a 15″ circle, and went for an oxidizing blue under strip with mixed-translucency blue over-strips. At the crosspoints, the under strips stay blue because they are shielded from air by the over melt. I used the red dichroic glass sparingly. And as a bonus, they look like yummy strips of bacon! Thanks Heidi and co. for showing us how it’s done.
Here are some technical details on this supercooled fluid in a translucent trance.
The first kiln bake is for 12 hours and it fuses the glass. Here it is about to go in for the second bake at a lower 1250 degrees where the flat form sags down to the bowl-shaped mold. 
The other two pieces were done by my kids, daughter in front (with creative shards that are hard to form in a controlled manner) and son in back (patterned off his ubiquitous blue shirt)
