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

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!

Fused Glass Koi Pond

 I displayed my Koi fish on a 3 dimential float glass tray/ bowl/ pond at the Ramona Open Studio Tour and the whole piece was purchased. The Koi would have been drilled and turned into a "Koi Mobile" They turned out to be a easy care Koi pond sculpture!

Horses in Fused Glass

Four 9" x 12" Fused Glass Panels

I wasn't expecting bubbles in the clouds but they will be
a great effect for the next Koi's in water I attempt!
