oh this is going to be fun!

If you know about Etsy then you know that there is a plethora of talented artisans who work hard at what they do. I'm really floored by some of the outstanding talent and meticulous work that I see in this fairly young venue and Ive decided that I'm going to start featuring other artisans here on the first of every month..so I'm on the hunt for someone to feature this coming week. There's something for you all to wait with bated breath for! ;)

If you're an artist who makes your living with your hands (and it needn't just be jewelry related) be it metalwork, lampwork, pmc, polymer clay, ceramic beads, handspun wool..woodwork, soap! and you're interested in a feature with pics and links please do contact me (debatsweetwaterdesignsdotca) I love a good project!

Creating an organic glass Bead

I have a love for organic works of art..movement, line and color that mimic nature or are earth inspired... A push or subtle exaggeration of textures, color and movement ..all of those elements play a role in organics. Sometimes it's simply a matter of getting out of the way... Provide the right atomosphere.. The correct ratio of oxygen to fuel, that perfect combination of glasses and metals, the right temperature in your kiln for that particular glass.. don't forget to check the alignment of the stars ~ and then get out of the way..stop pushing and pulling with the form. Listen and see. ..allow the glass to be the star. Gravity, the glass itself, temperature and serendipity ...all combine to create an 'organic' piece of art~

Potomac bead box!

Last month I was invited to join Potomac's influencer program. This means that every so often Potomac Bead company sends participants out a box of supplies for them to play with. We make 3 or 4 pieces of jewelry and tag them on social media. Yep, you can count me in.  Stay tuned to see what I've made..I should be able to create at least 3 pieces or more with what I've been sent. Will post here when I have anything to show!
