Busy Month in the Studio

I can't believe that it has been a whole month since I wrote my last blog entry. How time flies when you are busy!. Here are a few things I have been working on.

Some Wind Chimes for the Garden

I made a fused heart for a friend a few weeks back to go in the garden. This got me thinking what else I could make that could be used in the garden and I came across the idea of wind chimes.

I thought about making a fused heart and then sawing it into strips but was unsure it would be balanced right to hang properly. I put on my thinking cap and this is what I have come up with. I am hoping that because they are all the same size they will hang nicely.

I just need to get some driftwood or something similar to hang them from

Some New Work

I have had a busy few days making some new work and playing around with some new ideas. Here's the process and the finished panels. Will try to take some better images tomorrow.

The two glass panels are sandblasted and have coloured glass bonded onto them using a two part silicon. Messy process but does the job.





And here's another one using different shades of green

More Fused Jewellery Making

I have had another craft shop interested in me supplying them with my jewellery & coasters, so another busy week in the studio making to replenish my stock. I have jewellery coming out my ears!!!

Playing around

Been playing around with mirror, tissue paper & PVA glue. Reminds me of being back in my first year at uni.
Thanks Norma for reminding me about tissue paper. I love how all the colours bleed into each other. So simple but effective
