AAE Glass and Tropical Storm Isaac

AAE Glass happens to be located right in the projected path of tropical storm Isaac. The national weather service anticipates Isaac to reach our area early on Monday morning.  Cape Coral, Florida is located in southwest Florida and has had many bouts with hurricanes in the past.  The most recent was Hurricane Charley in 2004 and much of Cape Coral, Florida was without power for 5 days while it dug out from the debris.

While Isaac is still just a tropical storm, we wanted to let our readers know that we are prepared for anything down here, but more importantly, if we are "off the grid" for a few days beginning next week, you know we are cleaning up or without power.  Thanks for all the well wishes and we believe this storm will be just that...A big storm.  One thing is for certain, hurricanes are very unpredictable so we are all on our toes here in SW Florida.  Well wishes go out to all of our glass artist friends in the SW United States, be safe and let us know if there is anything we can help you with.

AAE Glass Pictures from Europe

Tanya & John Veit of AAE Glass have sent some pictures to share with everyone from Europe.  They are teaching at a very high rate of speed, but what else would you expect.  The International Festival of Glass is about to take off and Tanya has the honor of teaching 72 glass artists in the coming days!  She sends her best to everyone and promises to bring back a ton of glass knowledge to share with our local glass artists right here in Cape Coral, Florida. I will update as I receive more info.  Leave a comment on this post for Tanya and I will make sure she sees the support she is getting back home!

New Color Decal Sheet Release Mystical Wildlife

AAE Glass has released a follow up, color, glass fusing decal sheet, Mystical Wildlife.  The examples above are by Tanya Veit and just like the original color fusing decal sheet we released a few weeks ago, Paradise in Color, these are the only color decals of their kind on the market.
These color decals fire on the darkest of glass, including black.  Other "color decals" out there only fire on white or ivory glass without losing color and shape integrity.  Our decals become vibrant on dark color glass and never lose shape of color when fired properly. 
Whether you purchase your decals from a wholesale company or from AAE Glass,  be sure they are made by AAE Glass. 
Handmade art is very special to both the artist and the recipient.  Be sure to use the highest quality decals available.
As usual, we look forward to seeing how you, the artist, will use this new product and we are here to help you succeed.

Have fun and keep fusing!

Four Fusing Secrets Inside

 

OVERLAPPING DECALS

Yes, you can overlap decals to create some very interesting effects. I like to overlap trees and forest scenes over suns and moons to create the most realistic scenes. THIS REQUIRES SEPARATE FIRINGS! Apply your sun/moon, fire and then add your trees over the suns/moons. If you try it with one firing, you may get blistering of the decals.

 

CREATE A HORIZON LINE

Use colored frit, enamels or a complete different color of bottom glass to create your horizon line. This will add realism to your pieces and add "balance" to the piece.

 

MIRROR IMAGE EFFECT

Several of our glass decal designs come in both black & white.  You have endless possibilities with this technique.  Use a craft knife or scissors for precision cutting.

 

BLACKER, THICKER DECALS

I am often asked how my decals appear so "black" in some of my pieces. Three factors to this: soak your decals in COLD water if you want more density. Drop your temp 10 degrees and drop your hold time from 10 to 8 minutes. TAKE NOTES! You can always refire our decals and not lose any detail. SO, it is best to underfire and start low!
