Dichroic Glass Jewelry

Scoop - Batch or Cullet       See dichroic glass jewelry

Scoop - Color Powder       One method of holding dichroic glass jewelry color powder for rolling molten dichroic glass in it. Take a couple of fused glass jewelry aluminum ice scoops and set them in plaster or concrete so they can be lifted out to return the powder to the container. dichroic fused glass jewelry Powder Cup

Scoop - Molten fused glass       At the end a fused glass jewelry blowing session, if the furnace is to be shut down, the last of the dichroic fused glass must be removed to the bottom of the pot to keep the glass jewelry from freezing in the pot. The real problem is not on cooling, but on dichroic glass reheating, when the glass jewelry commonly expands more quickly than the pot, before getting molten, and cracks the pot. A scoop allows removing dichroic glass jewelry quickly. glass jewelry is normally dipped in water to chill it before going into the furnace and allowed to drip off into a bucket of water or be plunged into the bucket. This one is rusty from being outside, unused, for a while; I normally reheat the end and dip it in motor oil to carbon treat the end. It was made by welding the domes sold for capping off steel pipe to 12" square tubing. MF

SCR Silicon Controlled Rectifier       An On-Off switch that is controlled by a control voltage. Once the switch is on, it stays on until the power current and voltage pass through zero, thus it is almost always used for AC power. To control AC power completely, two SCR's back to back or a Triac must be used. Control Electrical

Scrambled Millefiori       a millefiori glass jewelry paperweight design in which whole and broken canes, and sometimes white or colored "lace," are jumbled together to fill the weight.

Screw cap       a dichroic glass bottle closure.

Seam       a mark on a dichroic glass jewelry bottle caused by dichroic glass jewelry assuming the shape of the dichroic glass jewelry mold where the two halves meet.

Seeds       Small dichroic glass jewelry bubbles in the dichroic glass, sometimes desirable, usually not. When fused glass has these bubbles it is said to be seedy. Seeds are normally removed by lowering the dichroic fused glass temperature of the molten fused glass jewelry to drive the bubbles back into solution in the dichroic fused glass. Tested by making a small fused glass jewelry gather and looking at the dichroic fused glass.

Seeds       Small air bubbles found in glass jewelry that has not been squeezed

Servitor       the dichroic glassblower who is first assistant to the gaffer.

Set-Up       used interchangeably with "motif" to denote the central glass jewelry element(s) in a representational weight.

Shaft Collar       A thick (3/8"-1/2") washer with a set dichroic glass screw in the side that allows locking it on a pipe or rod. Most commonly used in glass jewelry for hanging the pipes and dichroic glass punties for cooling the glass jewelry. Made originally to keep a shaft from moving through a dichroic glass bearing, so sold with bearings. Come in hard steel and softer (zinc?) versions, the latter needed if drilling out is needed as it is for water pipe which is not exactly 1/2" or 3/4" OD.

Shards       Very thin glass jewelry, usually made by blowing out a bubble and shattering the bubble. also called confetti. It is used to produce thin areas of uniform color, being picked up like frit or powder usually. Easier to control the over lay of one piece on another. dichroic glass jewelry color

Shears       Mostly like glass jewelry tin snips (but see Diamond Shears), available with various shaped cutting edges - straight, duckbill, etc. - used for trimming the lip and otherwise cutting away dichroic glass jewelry. Putsch $32, Steinert $85, Moore $50 Littleton states that dichroic fused glass jewelry tin snips have a blunt shearing edge, which chills the fused glass too much; dichroic fused glass jewelry shears must have a sharp thin edge.

Shells - Sea Shells       Sea shells are attractive ornaments, made quickly by those with access to good color. Here are some attractive examples, at least at the scale of these dichroic fused glass pictures. Producing the white inner surface accurately is more of a challenge. Recently I have seen shells with fused glass jewelry pearls included.
