Laser engraved images on dichroic glass - First try

 Used my XTOOL Laser cutter to etch into dichroic glass .

My first  effort -  Painted the surface with black paint so that the laser did not reflect 

I was setting up my butterfly wing pattern and a mandala 

Was amazed with results but first tries were too deep (which totally surprised me ) 

I adjusted the depth and  tried again

once I got the  detail I wanted and depth I cut them  out and ground them down and then fired them 

then I did a copper  foil around edges and soldered them 

no patina
