Colourizing decals

I am adding glass 'paint' to the printed images, to be fired inside the glass. This may or may not work!

I’m procrastinating doing some work that I -need- to do by doing some optional, kinda fun work. Well, things are getting done 😏.

In the works

...new Double Rainbow Necklaces 🌈🌈 ‎and other new rainbow and Pride necklace shapes.

 

Samples of my new double rainbow fused glass pendant necklace coming soon...

The first one was a mishap when two pendants got a bit too close together in the kiln. Now I'm recreating that happy accident. 

New samples of fused glass rainbow pendant necklaces

And I'm pretty happy with these new shapes as well. 

Rainbow necklaces handmade in fused glass on cotton cord necklaces or brass chain necklaces. 

And here is the one that original style started it all.

Glass reclaiming today

Using every scrap I can and the result should be some fun one-off designs. 

I'm half tempted to create the original glass tiles and designs just so that I will have the scrap pieced to make this new work.

Here is one of the finished necklaces!

Stocking up on Customer Favourites ✨

I started Spring with many new batches of popular pendants ready to make in to necklaces. All of these have been added to my web shop and more are in the works. 

Sun? Moon? Take your pick!

It’s a work day bonus when I can open the kiln and remove the molds to find these calming paper faces looking up at me. 🌞

I've brought back a classic image from back when I was making ceramic jewellery. I'm working to incorporate this calm face image into a glass pendant. Harder than I expected but a fun process nonetheless. 

clay stamps for pressing warm glass

Instead of making ceramic faces as pendants, I made ceramic stamps from the negative image of the face to press the glass in the kiln.

Recycling glass for zero waste.

I have a lot of unscheduled time right now, as many do. I'm not exactly sure what to work on today...

making new glass mini sheets from scrap glass for zero waste production

...so, I’m recycling some of my seemingly endless supply of leftover glass into new mini sheets of glass. 🎨🔨 ♻️

Pigeon Necklace Samples

Testing colours for a batch of Pigeon necklaces 🎨✨🐦

Making test batch of pink and purple pendants for Pigeon Necklace


I left out a good colour combo from this test: pale pink on dull purple (hard to get a vibrant purple in glass)! So I haven’t decided which of the pink purple colours to go ahead with. 🐦 Opinions welcome!

 

Still busy in the studio...

I don't want my future self to say, "Why didn't you get more done while stuck inside surrounded by all your work stuff?" So I'm doing my best to keep plugging along and continue to create handmade things for the future. Hope you are all able to plug along too. #stayhomeclub #flatteningthecurve #socialdistancing
