checking in.....

So need to get better at updating my blog... today I have almost gotten most of the design projects completed... Have just a few left in the que...

Put another coat of art clay (bronze) on 3 leaves I am working on.. have some copper ones almost ready to be fired...

Just put a few pieces of glass in the kiln....

It's been a nice day of creativity.... going to work on a doodle I started last week... using zentangle designs and a background of paint splashes watercolor and a little acrylic...

Scanned the web today... searching for a good magazine that covers glass - fusing... just can't find one... there are a few glass magazines out there... but, not much to chose from....

That is what is truly needed a good fusing magazine.. flowing with ideas and tips and techniques...I wouldn't mind if it included metal clay art also... since a lot of times they go hand in hand....

well back to work...

Two more leaves created at the workshop with Judi...

These are two more leaves made from art clay copper. I was a very fun workshop.. learned a lot. Now putting the pieces together with bead work...

Fused glass pendant.. flowers original design by me.

Zentangled designed flowers... made in to a fusible decal and kiln fired to glass... colored and fired again. One of the many pieces I will be taking to the Art Show on the 19th of November

Three Horses

Experimenting with trees... if you look closely you will see 3 horses heads in the branches.

Hoping to evolve trees to incorporate hidden animals and more.

Do we ever know who or what is watching us as we travel paths through woods or by trees???? Hmmmmmm.......
