Back to work..

These came out of the kiln yesterday. A rather subdued earthy palette..


Last night I created a most beautiful bead in my head just before I went to sleep...shhhh..I don't want to say this too loud, but I think my muse is back.

Awww, I'm glad your muse is back. What a wonderful feeling it is. I'm just glad you remember what your epiphany looks like. I often have some great ideas as I fall asleep, but I can't remember them in the morning!!!

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!

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~
