We've now added fused flat glass artwork to our product lines as I've experimented with new techniques and processes.  Below are some of our pieces.

Nine-Inch Flowerpot Melts
 
The flower pot melts are aptly named since they are formed by melting glass through an unglazed flowerpot that has three or four additional holes drilled around the edge of the bottom of the pot. The pot is suspended above the coated kiln plate and the glass melts out the holes in all sorts of interesting patterns. So far, I've made these in the predominant colors of green, red, blue, purple, yellow and white (pastel).
 
These sell out quickly.  I regularly make more of them, but even using the same proportions of the colored glass, each is unique, so expect variations. 
 
I've also sagged these into small plates and bowls. As I get more colors, I will add more pictures. 
$45.00

Sun-Moon Drip Art
 
My glass is fully annealed,so it is pretty tough, but on occasion a piece breaks.  In this case, it was one of my sun and moon large bowls. I'd been meaning to try out a new technique of melting glass through a stainless steel grate, so I reassembled the bowl pieces on top of the grate and turned on the kiln.  If you look closely, you can see the original design. This piece is about 17 inches. 
$150.00

Deep Sea Jellyfish Melt
 
This piece was made by melting white and black glass through a flower pot. The result was so dark, I decided to add a deep sea jellyfish. 12 inches.
$80.00

Sea Otter 
 
This Otter was originally destined to be a large platter 13"by 17", which cracked then healed while firing. I filled the crack and fired it at a lower temp to give a 3 dimensional look of water. The otter is irridized glass (and really cute).  
$120.00
