Enameled Rounds - Update

The lapping process is complete:

Ever get an idea which can't wait? Due to the break between class sessions, these beads will have to wait until I get a chance to lap a few facets. Looking forward to sharing pictures of the finished beads in a few weeks.

Prized Rose

Gearing up for class next week. The break has been nice, but I'm excited to be able to share my Tuesday nights with a talented group of friends at the Mesa Arts Center.

A few samples for students to create beads of their own.

Smore Anyone?

Here is a peak into the class project for this week: The Smore Snowman. The little guy can be strung onto a drop pendant, tree ornament, or displayed on a custom stand. Not to be confused with the real sugary thing... that would sadly require a trip to the dentist.

Winged Heart

The demo for February 3rd's class: Adding Wings to Hearts.

Fall and Winter Workshop

October 12th from 1pm to 5pm

Workshop Section: CAF14GLW058-01

The workshop combines a variety of designs from my Festive Fall and Winter Wonderland Workshops, along with new designs for 2014. Let's welcome the holiday season by creating fun themed focals from

molten glass through use of various techniques!

Welcome to Paradise

"Welcome to Paradise"

3 x 3.7 x 2cm

Soda-lime glass, enamel; flameworked glass bead.

The concept of my latest work arose from the desire to create a nature inspired, sculptural piece based on a Dionaea muscipula, aka Venus flytrap. The original design featured a mosquito hawk (see image below), but as with most of my initial pieces changes are made, techniques are tested and it is back to the drawing board. Pictured above is the second design featuring a common housefly. I feel it better captures my intended humor, thus coining the title: "Welcome to Paradise".

"Dionaea muscipula"

Soda-lime glass, enamel; flameworked sculpture.
