Steps 18-24
18. Decide the front section of the vessel and cut out the designs for the inlays. Use a rectangle cutter and a smaller triangle cutter.

19. Insert tiny pieces of the turquoise and gently press them onto the glass to fill the cut out space. The turquoise does not have to be flush with the surface.

20. The coral sheet should be the same thickness as the wall of the vessel. If it is not, roll it a little with the acrylic roller to the same thickness.

21. Cut out the shapes and carefully insert them into the open holes on the vessel. Cut a circle below the turquoise rectangle and insert a circle of the coral sheet.

22. Bake at the recommended temperature and time for the clay you are using leaving the glass inside for support.

23. Carefully remove the faux vessel from the oven and remove the glass while it is still a bit warm.

24. Let the vessel cool down completely before the next step.
