Koi fish in glass

This is how they start!

 

 

They are painted on both sides, just about ready to fire!

New year, New Fused Glass work!

Four new fused glass pendants and two new Koi Mobiles! I've posted the pendants multiple times to try to show how the different colors and layers show up when viewed in person.  Each pendant is 2 hand etched layers of dichroic glass with a clear layer between for depth.  They have hand wrought silver bails embedded between the layers which is a much more secure connection than a glue on bail.

The fused glass Koi  are hand painted on both sides, they have been fused and fired a second time at slump temperature to give them extra movement.  The shadows they create are extra fun!

These are now available at Studio 25, Spanish Village, Balboa Park, San Diego

Here are some things I'm working on for thr Ramona Open Studio Tourhttp://www.ramonaart.com/ and the Art Glass Guild's Patio Sale http://www.agasc.org/index.php?page=events  They are yet to be fired so I hope they will turn out well!

14" disk with Koi

The shadows make me think I should add more Koi?

These Glass Koi are 5" to 8" and will become Mobiles.
