Nightlights - abstract fused glass for Linz

A very late Xmas project ....

Two nightlights fit on one shelf for firing.  The one in the back is the one pictured here.

Here's what it looks like (kind of) when it's turned on
And here's what it looks like in broad daylight.

Lessons learned?
  1. Three layers at this size (roughly 4" x 6")  is too heavy for the first kind of glue I used :/  Linz reports that it fell off of the nightlight bracket in less than a week :/
  2. It's harder to take accurate "in the dark" pictures than I imagined
  3. I still like fused glass with that extra layer of clear on the top (to make it look deep or submerged) a lot.
