Step 1
Select a few matching pieces of glass. Light colors of semi-transparent glasses have the most intense effect. Dark and transparent glasses look a bit more subtle. It doesn‘t have to be fusing glass. Other glasses can also be bended at low temperatures. Possible side effect: a silk-matt surface (devitrification).
Step 2
Cut or tear off Cerablanket 3551227 (fiber wool) to stone-like pieces and shape them. Cut the glass accordingly. Deburr the edges - a simple hand deburrer 3050200 is sufficient - even better a 3050401 sanding pad.
Step 3
Put the Cerablanket pieces in the oven. Now place the glasses on the matching Cerablanket pieces. Make sure that the glass pieces are not too big.
Step 4
Bend at low slumping temperature. The glass should only touch the Cerablanket. If you are not sure what temperature to bend at, set a lower temperature and watch the process.
Step 5
After the firing process, clean the glass parts from the fiber wool.

Step 6
Decorate the light stones in the garden, by the pond or wherever you want a nice colored atmosphere. Place a solar LED light chain under the glass so that you can achieve a wonderful atmosphere with the light stones in the evening.
Tips:
If you use iridescent glasses, put the iridescent layer on top.
