Amazingly enough, we are roaring up on the end of the second year of monthly free kiln carving patterns. When I started this project I had no idea that it would end up being such a popular thing. Thanks for downloading and making projects, it’s great to hear about your experiences and see photos of your work.

Step 1:
Pin down the pattern on a piece of fiber paper large enough to accommodate the entire pattern. I’ve made mine large enough for my entire piece of glass so it won’t have a border.
Carefully cut out and remove all of the gray areas. I find it easiest to cut through the paper first, then, after the paper is removed to cut through the fiber paper. It can be a little tedious, but it seems to avoid tearing the fiber paper.
After the entire pattern is cut, put it on a prepared kiln shelf with your preferred glass on top. Fire to a full fuse.
In retrospect, I should have measured my glass better so it covered more of my pattern. Turns out, even the experts can do it better sometimes! I still think it’s adorable, so I drilled holes in the top corners and added a wire hanger. This would have been a great condiment dish as well.
May your fall be bountiful and the harvest rich!
