Welcome

Welcome to my Blog. I am always trying to find new and unique ways to express myself through my glass. My work has evolved into my favorite item; pet cremation remembrance pendants. This is where I permanently fuse ashes between layers of glass. My most recent creation is my sepia - pictures in glass, where I take a picture and fuse it into glass. I have also done a few remembrance items with people's ashes which turned out amazing.

My glass can be purchased on either of my two websites

June update on dichroic fused glass watches

I have made a few fused glass watches and WOW!  They turned out fabulous.  I made a purple and a silver watch.  It took me about an hour to wire wrap each one.  I know I'll get a little quicker, or I hope so.  I have misplaced my camera so I didn't take pictures of them with a digital camera.  I did however post one of the pictures to my twitter.  You can go to my twitter and check it out.  http://twitter.com/addicted2glass  The pictures aren't the best, but it'll give you an idea how they turned out.  I really wanted to keep the purple one for myself, but it was too big.  I brought them to one of my consignment shops to see if they can sell them with the size I made them without me having to re-wrap them to a different size.  I'm still making some slight changes to the new watches I'll be working on.  The problem with the watches I made; they aren't adjustable.  I've just received some more supplies to see if I can make an adjustable band so they can fit more people.  I have 2 more that I've shaped, but I'm waiting on some watch faces before I put them together.  If I receive them today, I'll hopefully wrap them and post a few pictures here on my blog sometime next week.  I hope you'll check back soon to see them.

Thanks for stopping by to see what's new.

What's new?

I'm so excited.  I can't wait for everyone to see my new dichroic fused glass watches that I'm working on.   I'm still in the process of cutting and grinding the glass.  I hope to fuse them this weekend so I can then shape them into the watch pieces next week.  The colors are amazing.  I'll have reds, blues, greens, purples, pinks, silver, gold, and so many combinations.  When I went to Las Vegas in April, I purchased so many beautiful colors of the dishroic glass.  I think I'll have a good variety of watches for people to choose from.  I'll be posting pictures here on my blog and to my two websites when I have them finished.  Here are the links to my sites.  Chem back late June to see my watches   http://www.artfire.com/users/addicted2glassfusion#   http://www.etsy.com/shop/addicted2glassfusion
