Owl Circles Color Decal Sheet

This sheet carries fifteen circular decals, each with a different owl drawn in the style of vintage naturalist engravings. The owls are rendered in dark ink and vary in species and posture, from upright long-eared types to rounder, compact short-eared forms, giving the set variety within a unified theme. Every circle shares the same warm amber and cream background, suggesting aged parchment with faint script texture behind each bird.

Fusible glass decals are water-slide transfers applied to pre-fired glass and then kiln-fired to bond permanently to the surface. Because the decal bonds to the finished surface rather than fusing as a compatible glass layer, no COE matching is needed and these work with glass of any COE. A single sheet yields accents for pendants, decorative panels, suncatchers, accent tiles, or small themed production runs.

What glass color should I use under these decals?
These decals fire somewhat transparent and show the most depth on white or very light glass. On medium to dark base colors the contrast is reduced, so white or off-white glass is the recommended base for the fullest result.

How do I apply a water-slide decal from this sheet?
Cut the decal away from the sheet and soak it in clean, room-temperature water for 30 to 60 seconds until it slides freely from its backing paper. Slide it into position on clean, dry, pre-fired glass, then smooth water and air outward from the center with a soft squeegee or fingertip. Let the piece dry completely before firing.

Do these decals work with the COE glass I already have?
Yes. Because the decal fires onto the surface of pre-fired glass rather than fusing as a compatible glass layer, no COE matching is needed. Clean, fully pre-fired glass of any COE accepts these decals.

How many owl decals come on one sheet?
Each sheet holds fifteen individual owl circle decals, enough for a small run of pendants, a set of accent tiles, or a mix of test pieces and finished work.

Working Notes

Apply decals only to clean, pre-fired glass. These fire somewhat transparent and work best over white or very light glass; on darker bases the imagery weakens, so plan glass selection before applying. Cut and soak one decal at a time, smooth it flat, and let the piece dry fully before loading the kiln. Test a small piece in your own kiln before a full production run.

Suggested Firing Schedule (a suggested starting point, not a guarantee of results; every kiln fires differently, so test a small piece first, and anneal for the thickness of your glass): On fused glass this full-color print fires to a final range of 1275 to 1380 degrees, held about 10 minutes. Full-color prints are semi-translucent, so they read best on white or light glass and lose strength on medium to dark glass. Ventilate the kiln well up to 1000 degrees and fire slowly below 500 degrees. 50 degrees per hour to 185 degrees, hold 20 min. 150 degrees per hour to 300 degrees, hold 15 min. 250 degrees per hour to 500 degrees, hold 15 min. 600 degrees per hour to 1000 degrees, hold 10 min. Then to 1275 to 1380 degrees, hold about 10 min. Anneal for the thickness of the glass.
