Valentines day special!

Valentines day is special for a lot of people! I know my Late Husband and I used it as a reason to go to dinner Every year! It was fun.

This year, I am using it to create Abundance! Not just for me, but for you too! I have put some of my glass on sale on line in my Etsy shop. I also listed a collection of pendants for sale for $30.00 delivered. Explosions of beautiful colors! Some floral, some dots! Sneak peak picture here!

Happy Valentines day!!

Decals for glass flame work and fusing for Sale again!

Collabortion with Gordon. The MI glass project logo on a borosilicate turtle

Glass decals available at a new Etsy web site. What’s Etsy? A secure site that allows self employed Artisans a place to sell their products. A great place for someone like me to get going again. As I prepare my New business plans and website. Yup! I am starting it all over, with lots of NEW work. (I will tell you more on that in time…)

For today! I have lots of decals for sale. Only a select few are displayed at the Etsy site. I will be listing more over the next coming weeks. I have quantity in stock here at the studio. If you see something you want to create a whole bunch with, message me direct.

And! One more thing! If your paying it forward, or giving back to the awesome people around us, I want to know about it. Makes me happy, and I’ll honor your kindness with a 20% discount. Always! Peace, Love, light, and good energy. It’s people like you that help make this place better. Thank you!!

You can also purchase decals at ABR imagery. They carry designs by myself and one of my designer Artists, Rita Stucke.

These decals are inorganic pigments printed on water slide decal paper. Your substrate will determine the exact melting temperature. Your approach to flaming them will determine your finish.   Image and substrate become 1. Permanent. These decals do not need to be raised from the surface. They are designed for permanence, water and sun resistance. Decals can be completely encased in clear for magnification. These are all subjects I am happy to discuss with any inspired soul.

Happy creating.

Landscape trade

‘Remembering the woods, and the rapids on the boat trips’.

Welded glass… 2-1/2″ tall focal bead (plus or minus a little)

It was an honor to trade this bead with Gideon Rockwood (Uber talented borosilicate glass flame worker) Trading for guidance at the torch (with a GTT phantom torch and a pedal). Word!

Serendipity

I do not recall how long I have been imagining this piece.  Took me a long time to actually create it.  There had to be a perfect scale between the implosion (white burst of energy) and the figure. And the arms had to be in the perfect place.. . as she releases a magical energy…for the sake of Art, and imagination…

To feel free, beautiful, and have powerful goodness….If you could create an image of the moment an epiphany takes place, this is one of them.

After several years of imagining this one, and a few prototypes here and there.  Being the Creator, I have to say, the completion of this project was a magical moment. Like Serendipity to me.

Many of those implosions made into beads are for sale, 50% off retail price all through April at the Etsy shop.  I call them “explosions”, enjoy!
