Studio Tour and new glass

Its time for the 2009 Ramona Studio Tour! http://www.zhibit.org/ramonaart



The tour was cancelled last year due to the fire that raged through our community. Most of the Artists are back at work, The mountain sides have a different bare look. Last years wild flowers were spectacular and revival is on the way. If you are an Art lover this is a great oppertunity to visit 15 Studios see where and how artists work and meet some interesting people.
I've been busy working on some new jewelry and larger glass pieces.

March went by ia a flash! I did allot of drawing, designing for glass and I couldn't stop with the cats.

Sneakers Sleeping

Cats do a lot of this sleeping!

50 more Cats completes 100!

It took a long time to get back to them but I have over 100 cat sketches. Most very quick often late at night. The first 3 are fused glass, one wire cat face, the rest pen.

New Look at Old Glass Boxes

My first boxes, and resolve to make some new ones! Now that I have it in print I hope to take myself seriously.



My most recently completed box and resolve to get better pictures of existing boxes!

Bigger New Glass

My Second Paperweight! Great fun again, looking forward to more hot shop time.

This one was also in the AGASC show. Copper wire faces embedded in float or window glass. I added some concerned wire figures just for fun. I really like the idea of using throw away glass for something interesting! I plan on doing some sconces

More New Glass

Some new jewelry. This shows the glass pieces before being fired and afterward.

EDM 204 Frosty and some New Glass

This is as close to frost as we get around here! Hope to get these beautiful horses in the fog into some type of artwork!
The fused glass Tiger and Jaguar were 2 of my entries in the Art Glass Assn. of Southern California's November show. I used the same method as my dancers from last years show, liquid glass by Glassline and glass powder or frit. I hope to buy more colors as I can afford them. Combining glass and drawing in my new glass, 2 of my favorite things, is great fun!
