Koi in progress

Ready to fire

after slumping ready to make into mobile!

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

Art Glass Assosiation of Southerm California's Annual Show 2011

It's AGASC showtime again!  Hope to see you at the Show or Patio sale!  Here's a sneak peek at my entries:

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!

New Koi Fish Disk and Koi for Mobiles

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.

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.

I haven't got a good picture of this one yet or a stand I like। You can see the different colors from different views.

Lydia's comment was right, I did get too much going with the shadows. This picture is a bit better!

The Ramona Studio Tour Was great fun, lots of art friends stopped by and met new art friends। Got encouraging comments on my wire work and sold a couple pieces! The glass fish and sketches were well recieved as well। I'm busy working on new glass for The patio sale May 16th and 17th
