Star of the East - Special white earrings

This artist lives in Turkey and has collected sea urchins during her many walks on the beaches there. She sure makes beautiful use of them!


Irregular Expressions - Saga ~ freeform crochet necklace

A family shop in Istanbul with the beautiful creations made by the mother and the daughter and son helping her with the shop details.
Be sure to click on the image to see the close up detail..truly a work of art.



V Silcox Designs- Spike Coffee Mug

Lively hand painted glass pieces full of movement and light~ I had a hard time choosing which one of the wonderful works of art to highlight .


Dinglewear - Wrist Cuff

Just one of the many cuffs in this artisans Etsy shop. Many of her cuffs are constructed of leather, but this one is fun and sweet and comfy looking, don't you think?

Creating an organic glass Bead

-
Image
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~
