Animal Pendants

I have added some new pendants on Folksy





I decided that to make them stand out more, I would paint the back of each tile and I am quite pleased with the result!
:-))

Glass Tile Coasters

Apart from the Sock monkeys and other stuff, I have been fusing some blank coaster tiles to make these!!

I am hoping to make a fair few sets...............again for the Wirral Show!!

These are foam backed and are fab as either coasters or just for decoration.

They have a fair few bubbles in the glass, but I feel for these that just adds to them!!

I am going to try a suggestion made by Gloria from Dichro-Findings , which involves a bubble squeeze program for the glass when it is fusing!!

I will hopefully get that sorted in a few days!!

More Butterfly Tiles!!

My Other Finished Tiles!!

A couple of these are not perfect, but I am happy with the technique!

The largest one has bubbles trapped uder the wings, which my kids think makes it look better!!

Hoping to have a bit of a play with mixing Glass and the Resin!!

BTW - Bunny Adventures will be back soon!!

6 Months old for Crafter..oo

Well over at Crafter...oo They have nearly reached 6 Months old!!

The Forum is a lovely place to be, with a relaxed informal atmosphere. Do pop in and say hello, you will receive a warm welcome!

I have recently been asked to be an editor for the glass section and I am priviledged to have been asked!!

I have been working on my new glass pendants and have

made a new batch that include the use of fabrics.

Also I have continued with my love of Millefiore and am experimenting with these brooches.

Please feel free to leave comments...They are appreciated either way!! :-)

Picture Tile Pendants

Here is a New item I have been working on this week. I was asked by the lovely Jill of Autumn Jewels for some tile blanks and I thought I would see what I could do with them too!!!

I am delighted with the results so far and hope to have a few different ones on my website very soon.

I have been busy working on a few new things to add at the end of my sale on 25th Jan!

Another Millefiori Necklace

This one I have just finished and was going to add it to the other, but for reason, I can't, so I thought I would just add to it anyway!!!

The pendant is clear glass with millefiori pieces and the necklace has square millefiori beads.

I can see quite a few of these coming up on my website and folksy etc I just love them.

I am going to be adding rings and bracelets too.

Dichroic Millefiori Necklace

Here is my latest design. I have fallen in love with Millefiori glass in all shapes and forms.

I have made several Pendants, some with Dichroic Glass and some with just the Millefiori pieces.

I wanted to make some necklaces, so I ordered some beads and have made this and am in the middle of making some others.

I hope you like it!

Abstraxx vases

I was contacted by a very talented gentleman called Terry Hooley who is a sculptor of mainly wooden items. He wanted some of my glass to use in his pieces.

These are his creations. The lighter one is made from Cherry wood and the second is made from burr elm.

I am looking forward to making more pieces for his work and he may be able to help me with some wooden items to help me display some of my art glass work.

Another glass fan sculpture

This is a piece I have recently made using the same sort of technique as the other fan sculpture.

I love the colours in this piece and the sheen and sparkle from some of them.

Again this would look great in a sunny window on a crisp winter morning!

I am not sure whether to keep it for myself!

Please let me know what you think of these types of sculpture ornaments as I am thinking of making them as my speciality.

Millefiori Dish

Ok This week I have been over the moon to find Millefiori pieces that are compatible with my other glass. I decided to create this 11.5cm x11.5cm decorative dish.

The Base is a dark Purple and I have used a mixture of red and lime green Millefiori pieces!

Also this week, I got a commission for some peices to be used within wood! I can't wait to the finished results!

Sorry about the lack of blog last week. I have been updating my website and this item is available to purchase!

Halloween next week!!

Toffee Treasure

Ok You may have now guessed that I am updating my Blog every Monday! Be sure to pop in to see what my favourite creation of the week has been!!

This week it is this necklace, with fused glass pendant. I have called it Toffee Treasure as it has that toffee colour to it and looks good enough to eat!! (well, I thought so anyway!).

I found some beads of a similar colour and decided to make this with the necklace included.

The chain is approx 20" long and the pendant is 2" long.

The chain took me a fair few hours to string together, but I feel the overall effect looks fairly good.

I may well add this to my folksy shop as I have one there already called Toffee Melt.

So that was my favourite from the week.

Let me know if you like it!

A Sculpture of sorts!!!

I had a bit of a disaster with this one at first as I had tack fused the rods and they were quite weak, so when I tried to glue to the base, I accidently let it fall and it broke!! BOO HOO

(lost the pic)Above is how it looked to begin with.............. I was very sad that I broke it, but I had one bar left over, so I added that to give it some strength and now, although I prefer the 1st one, it is finished.

I think it would look very good with the sun shining through it!

Better luck next time eh!

Don't buy Beer from Asda......It's Flat!!!

Avoid Asda's own Beer.........................It's terribly flat!!!

I have been experimenting with different articles and I am trying recylce in new ways!!

Please let me know what you think!

New to blogging!!

Hi All,
I am new to Blogging and am hoping to add to this as often as I can.
Those of you who already know me from the Crafteroo forum know the type of work I am doing.
I am generally making genuine Dichroic glass pendants and gift items.
My website http://www.glamglassgifts.com has a selection of items and I am trying to add to these when I can.
I am also working on hosting Jewellery parties and commissions are also taken.
I am working on various projects and will post some pictures of new work when I have completed them.
I also dabble in other craft work and will be adding pictures here!
Thanks
Rachel
