What's New for 2012

I should be cleaning my studio, I can barely walk in there anymore but I just had to post some pictures to show you what I've been working on the last few weeks.  Besides cleaning is overrated and the huge mess will wait for me till another day, that's for sure.

Well after taking classes with the very talented Tanya Veit this winter I must say it has shaken me up, turned me around and there's been a whole lot a new stuff coming out of my studio.  I have made over 90 new pendants in the last two weeks!  All new glass techniques, new shapes and new bails too!  Here's a sneak peak of what you will see at my upcoming shows this season.

This small oval pendant is about 1 1/2 inches wide and the colors are yummy!  Soft green, blues, white and splashes of mixed spring colors are scattered through the center.

 This pendant just says SPRING!!! Vibrant green, sky blue, turquoise, and white.

This one is just beautiful!  I love how it came out!

White, turquoise, pink, and a river of sparkling dichroic chips are encased in a galaxy of stars.

Can you say Easter!  This is a large pendant and the colors are so cool.

This would look stunning with a white top!

Love this orange sherbert, lime green and

 cream combination.

This is another one of my favorites!  I love the river of multicolored glass chips through the middle.  

This is a larger oval that I have oriented horizontally and it looks great!  

 Last but not least!
Those of you who know me know I don't care to work with red or black all that much.

Well once I starting working with this technique I got to tell you it is becoming 

one of my favorite color combinations.  The red is a transparent cranberry and

is so pretty.  I could see wearing this with a white lacy blouse or a simple

little black dress.

Each piece is one of kind fused glass design and can never be duplicated,
that's because I make the glass from little granules of crushed glass, layer upon layer,
 mixing and twirling each one as I create.

 I haven't touched bronze or silver in months as I'm having so much fun exploring the wonders of glass!  I better get busy working on metals soon as my show season begins next month.
Make sure you check out my show schedule listed on the side bar to see where I'll be next.
 I'm still adding shows so check back often.

Now, I'm off to peak in the kiln as I have some really cool glass pieces in there right now!
