Glory Glass

-
This is probably one of the most glamorous set of beads I've made in some time. Full of dichroic glass and bits of palladium leaf ( a precious metal that can burn bronze and pink in the flame) and then encased to enhance the little fiery lights within. I'm in love with them..they would make a superb one of a kind bracelet..and then some. Especially with copper components.
The beads are up for auction right now until August 22nd. Just click on the image to visit the site. Enjoy your week all!..and be sure to soak up all the sunny rays you can handle.
I saw a yellow leaf yesterday.

Thanks Louise! I enjoyed reading your blogs..it's always nice when I run across a fellow Canadian as impassioned with glass as I am. Not too many where I live!

Stunning beads Deborah!
I adore the fire from within - & that some seem to have the appearance of still being molten - yum!

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~
