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

Gold painted fused glass pendants now at Studio 25

Some new pendants I put in Studio 25 Friday they are 24K gold painted and fired on fused glass.

Fused Glass Cat Drawings

These 2 fused glass cat sketches sold at the Art Glass Guilds Patio sale

This one has trapped bubbles between the layers of glass,  I like the detail it adds and there is something kind of cool about that air being trapped in time!

Dog #43 of 100 Dogs and Every Day in May # 107 Draw how you get your news.

Had to make up the rear view of a brindle greyhound (?) I liked the shape of its ears. Would really more likely be a cats sillouete in the way. The real dog is at my feet and the cat on my lap interfering with typing!

Took some more reference pictures of dogs that visit the Art Glass Guild's Patio Sale and sold some glass!  Always nice to sell your newest work!

Art Glass Guilds Patio Sale and Show

Update!! 15 Seconds of fame!!  http://www.nbcsandiego.com/station/as-seen-on/Spanish_Village_s_Unique_Art_Glass_Show_at_Balboa_Park_San_Diego.html 

Patio Sale was great fun! Always lots of beautiful glass there. I took more pictures of the dogs that attend the show and will post and do some drawings from them.

The librarian at the Ramona library  recognized the piece of Dichroic jewelry I was wearing as one very similar to one a Julian librarian has.  I told her it very possibly was as I do bring my artwork up there for shows!  Cool to have your work recognized!

Patio Sale time already!  http://www.agasc.org/index.php?page=events Lots to get ready!

Fused Glass Cufflinks

One of the glass Artists at the Art Glass Guild, http://www.agasc.org/ suggested some items for men. Since I Had done tie tacks for fathers day and because a fellow from Australia in Studio 25 said the style "down under" was to wear your dress shirt with no tie with cuff links! I made some up with some eyes that would have turned into earrings!

This is a better picture of a pendant from a May firing.

These are drawn with glassline and colored with frit.

New horse etched on green Dichroic glass.

Dog sketches in Watercolor

These 2 dogs visited the Art Glass Guild Patio Sale and Show. Lots of mixed breed rescued dogs. I wish I had taken the photos before I added the patio background, 2nd dogs ears need some refining, well they could both use more work, I loose the freshness when I  overwork. By the time I've done 100 I may get it down!!

Art Glass Guild of Southerm California's Patio Sale and Show

Patio Sale and Show was successful.  Great people amd beautiful Art Glass from one end of the Spanish Village patio to the other.  I always wish I could spend more time looking at the other artists glass.  I always learn something new from them as well.
Some things that sold:

I had my glass boxes there.

Took picture of an epiphyllum flower from a show in another part of the park.

I'm going to post pictures of dogs that came through the patio sale on my facebook.
