Saidie, thanks for the invite. I've got spring fever IN THE WORST WAY! I've been making spring colored things since January ( hopefully my sales will increase as the temperature outside increases) hehe.
I'm a fused glass artist from Michigan. I make all kinds of things out of fused and stained glass, I'm also bigtime into mosaics, beads, cooking, gardening, anything that could injure or cut my hands, it seems. UGH!
Here are a few of my things I've made over the past week or so...
This is a suncatcher, I just took a super closeup photo of the little guy, becuse his face is so cute!
And another suncatcher...I mean, who WOULDN'T want a dead fish hanging in their window?
And, of course, like all glass fusers....there's the jewelry...although, I'm really trying NOT to make so much jewelry, it just seems like all fusers specialize in jewelry. I'm trying to be more unique!
POT MELT PENDANTS!
I just love making these potmelt pendants!
It's a fun, but involved, process.
I take 3 or 4 colors of little glass scraps, and fill a small pot up to the brim.
Then, in my kiln, I fire them in a small pot with a hole in the bottom. The molten glass drips from the hole, forming these fantastic, amazing swirls.
The glass is then coldworked (extensively) ...to form these lovely pendants.
