A piece I wow even myself!

Here's a piece I created using Diachroic Glass, Diachroic Slide Dragonfly, Plain System 96 sheets of glass and CZs. I've cold-worked this piece to give it some straight edges.

It still amazes me how Glass would play when melted down!

If you notice, the lightest coloured CZ (top) has been encased under some clear glass.

May 2008 Issue of Australian Ceramics, Glasswork and Pottery

My friend Anne Clifton of Glass Manifesto asked me back in January if I wanted to collaborate with her on an article she was writing for the Australian Ceramics, Glasswork and Pottery.

She was putting together a tutorial on glass fusing and thought that it might be interesting to show others that it can be done with my little microwave kiln.

When I can work out how to load up files so you can download a copy of the article, I'll be sure to plaster it here!

Here's a picture of the piece I created.

Glass Fused Bracelet

I've been asked to put this picture up. Each piece was fused in the microwave kiln and then cold-worked after, and then I glued them with E6000 to the bracelet findings and turned it into wearable art.

Playing with Dichroic Slides

My play with dichroic slides. It applies like a decal. I cut-out/punch-out images and then apply straight onto the glass and then fuse. The results are rather stunning, more so in real life.

Pieces from Glass Manifesto Workshop May 2007

I found pictures of the first fused pieces I made attending the workshop at Glass Manifesto, they are what prompt me into expanding my passion for glass from just lampworking into fusing & cold-working as well.




The following two pieces were once one but Anne helped to saw it in half for me.

Someone found me on Etsy & wanted a piggie!

*Grin* Jen found me on Etsy and wanted her own piggy. So, I made her 4 to choose from and she's decided to adopt 2! I will be sending 'Gloria' and 'Stephanie' to their new home soon.


Last night, sis wanted this one as a mobile charm.


So now I have one lone piggy left...poor thing, he looks kinda sad!

My First Successful Hollow Bead

Using Glass Manifesto Canes, I created my first successful hollow bead while performing a Lampwork Demonstration at Glass Manifesto's Open Day in 2007.

Creating Channels

So I invested in my own grinding tools, and decided to create a channel all the way around this piece. As it is transparent, there was no other way apart from wire-wrapping to have it at it's best.

A Piece I'm Proud Of

This was one of my favourites, I've given it away to my cousin Rachel.

I made it in the microwave with a "Microwave Kiln" and then cold-worked it at the studios of Glass Manifesto!

X'mas Challenge 2006

I participated in a Christmas Challenge in 2006 and created my first tree, up-side-down nonetheless!

My Piggie...

Well...technically it's my sister's now, I made it for her.

It actually started out as a "Flower" bead but decided after finishing that I didn't like it as much as a flower bead, so I turned it into a Piggie!

Mind you he only measures about 1.5cm in diameter...
