Take a photo of your piece before and after fusing it in the kiln
When doing any kind of glass fusing I find it very handy to take before and after photos of my pieces.
I have made quite a few pieces which I have, without tooting my own horn too much, been very happy with and have wanted to create a complete set of the same cab.
Nothing is more frustrating than being happy with a piece you have created, wanting to make another one just the same only to forget what frits you used and how you positioned the frit and/or glass.
Simple pieces aren't too much of a problem if it's just a matter of sprinkling on the frit but if you are building up a piece with glass or trying to create a mosaic effect then this idea comes in very handy.
Here are some before and after shots of some easy cabs I made.
I'd show you some pics of my more creative pieces but that'd just be giving away my secrets!
