More experimenting at the torch…

Posted in glass art, glass beads, lampwork flamework, tagged , , , , , , , on September 12, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I’m still full of ideas and experimenting at the torch… and still no explanation for these beads except this is what’s currently coming out of my head:  gothic and cartoon hearts, and playing with the effects that can be created  from boutique silver glass.  The pregnant goddesses are for a custom order.  I’m having fun though!

What have i been up to…?

Posted in glass art, lampwork flamework, tagged , , , , on April 2, 2009 | 4 Comments »

…building up my stock of finished beads and applying for shows and competitions.  Why?  Mostly to challenge and stretch myself.  A side benefit is that i’m being forced to really work on my photography – i think i’m getting better, no?

It’s long weekend here so instead of gallivanting like i normally do,  i decided to stay home and make some beads.  I’ve been either sick with the flu or so busy for the past several weeks that i haven’t been able to enjoy much torch time.  This weekend has really made up for that though – just got all these [...]

Results from my last few torch sessions:  The four goddesses are sold (custom order).   From left to right: still playing with a warm palette – this focal combines enamels, frit and clear.  i’d originally planned to completely melt the clear encasing smooth and then decided to leave it lumpy.  The bumps feels great. turquoise goddess with several shades of [...]
