One of the coolest things in the jewelry accessory world are the new chains and clasps. The chains come in various colors and sizes and the clasps are huge. They are so cute and for some very practical. Easy connections!

Chains and Clasps

When I look into this piece of fused glass I see a stream running through the woods next to a hillside. On the hillside is a dead tree half standing. What do you see?

Go Wild With Your Imagination

One of the most exciting things about working in fused glass is the element of surprise. I love to experiment with shapes and colors. When this piece first came from the kiln it reminded me of a bear's face. So I added some colorful pieces of glass to represent eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. After firing the second time I strung it on leather. A perfect necklace for a child.

This contemporary vase made with a melted wine bottle resulted in very calming colors. The wine bottle was melted once then I placed some already fused glass on it and melted it again. When the bottle is melted more than once it spreads out and takes a different shape of it's own. The vines are plaster and painted. The flowers are fused glass pieces mounted on canvas.
