making thick pendants

[deerick]

 Hi – I’m having trouble making my pieces thicker.  I first fuse some glass, usually 3 pieces thick.  This usually results in the piece fused but somewhat flattened.

I would like to take the fused glass and make them into thicker pendants.  I don’t think tack fusing is the look I am looking for. Any fire schedule that will fuse without “collapsing” the pieces?  I really like the work of fancyglass.com.  I know it is probobly more advanced, but I would like to set my goals high and achieve my version.   Thanks.

Here is the link that I would like to know how the artist makes these pendants.

Thanks

These pendants seem to have been made from combed slabs, sliced and then cold worked on the edges.
