The Red Vase

glass is hard to photograph! this candle vase measures 5 inches tall and 3 1/2 inches wide.
day 1 in the kiln is fusing glass to make the slab that in day 2 in the kiln is sagged over a cone mold to give the draping shape...this one i call my lace edge.
It is more cathedral than the picture shows...meaning clearer where the candle will flicker nicely...another additional benefit with this kind of edge is the flame nicely casts shadows upon the wall making for a nice ambiance...

these run around 20 dollars depending if you want simple as shown or intricate design work...

thank you for stopping in!

Progress on Projects

The faeries were playing today and snatched the "C" charm I had made a few weeks ago to make a necklace with.

I never found it so, I made another one. This "C" is a little longer and thinner but it works. Here is the finished necklace.

I used a canvas collage that I cut the charms from...the wire work is copper that I patinaed to antique the metal, some glass beads, and some found parts a key and a clock part.
This is a gift to be given Saturday.


A baby gift box in the making.

Fusing the lid is the first step. Copied from the footprints taken at the hospital.

I plan to present this to momma Kayla Saturday.
