All turtles can be mounted on the wall as well as placed on a table or stand. All stand-ups required two firings. The first firing is done by fusing all the pieces together to make the design. After the piece has cooled down from the first firing the piece is then placed on a mold to allow the legs to spread apart.
This technique is called Damn casting when we use a kiln. A damn is created by putting together usually four sides of a high temp material to hold glass chips together while they become liquid. With this technique you need to reach temperatures of about 1600 degrees and hold for about 30 minutes. It starts out at about 2 in thick and reduces down to 1 inch thick once cooled off.

Jamille began his glass artistry in 1977 when he enrolled in a stained glass class at Loch Haven ART Center in Orlando, Florida. The next four years were spent perfecting the craft and teaching classes at his stained glass studio, Golden Years Glass, in the Orlando area.
After reading an article in a stained glass journal, Jamille became intrigued by the possibilities of fused glass, an art that had its beginnings in Egyptian times, around 2000 BC, and was virtually forgotten until recent years. Being never content with mastering stained glass, he learned the basics of fusing during a summer workshop at Bull's-Eye Fusing Ranch in Portland, Oregon in 1982. He experimented, enrolled in additional workshops, and became a teacher himself. Being a pioneer of this resurging glass art movement, Jamille was one of the first artists to display his work in galleries, art shows, and other exhibits on the East Coast, such as the Corning Museum of Glass, New York, and also at the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C.
His current passions are designing various Animal Stand-up Figures, Vases, Dichroic Bowls in various sizes, Vessels, Plates, Contemporary Wall-piece's and Glass Casted Art Objects.
His work is more spiritual than political. He usually has themes for the work based on his feelings of spirituality, or reaching for light and beauty. He strives for beautiful craftsmanship while pushing the material to its limits in creating art to enhance our living and working environments.
