This lid is a veritable quilt of dichroic glass. Years ago, I picked up several small pieces of clear dichroic patterned glass at a bead show. At the time, I had no idea how or when I would use them. I forgot all about them until I was going through odds and ends in my studio, in search of materials to create the project lids with. I pressed them over black polymer clay and ground off the excess material with an electronic hand-piece and abrasive wheel. A complimentary border of Faux Dichroic clay ("Confetti" foil method found in The Complete Book of Polymer Clay Techniques) adorns the edge of the lid. Lastly, a rounded, glass cabochon effect is created by adding Magic Glos (TM) UV resin over the entire surface, thus sealing the glass panels in place, covering the uneven edges and creating a uniform finish and appearance.
