SOME MORE FROM YESTERDAY.....

I managed to get some more photos edited this morning ~ here they be... :^)
The first 2 are my "pick up stix" revisited. My most favourite pendant ever is a honkin' big one done in this style!! SOOOOO sparkly ~ to me it's what dichroic glass is all about!!!






And lastly ~ these were the earrings I was talking about ~ "J"...

SOME (not all) OF MY NEW PIECES...

I had every intention of getting these (and the rest of them) uploaded a lot earlier than now.
Unfortunately I ran out of daylight (again!!)to edit the rest of the pictures. So what you see here is only "some" of what I did this week. At this stage it looks like it may be Monday before I can get to edit the rest.
I had an unexpected visitor today ~ someone I had not seen in a very long time, so had a fair bit of catching up to do :^)







These two pendants will not see the light of day on eBay at all ~ they are too similar to the work of a very talented lady in Great Britain and given that I am not in love with my work being copied, I think it would be in very poor taste to offer something for sale online that is very obviously someone else's technique. I just wanted to see how they would work. I will probably keep both of these pieces for myself :^)
I love both of these pendants ~ the colours are awesome "for real"!!!


The following two pendants are along similar lines to the previous ones, but are a combination of satin and glossy glass. For some reason the camera didn't want to play nice today, so the colours really haven't shown up all that well. I will be exploring this idea further ~ I have a few things "brewing".....

DICHROIC PENDANTS AT AUCTION THIS WEEK..

For some reason in my merry listing frenzy this week on eBay I ended up listing 9 pendants for auction instead of my usual 8 ~ here they be :^)





And lastly this one, which was a long time on the drawing board (so to speak) ~ I LOVE how this pendant has worked!! Getting the sterling silver "hook" to sit and look right was a bit of a tricky one, but in the end it worked exactly as I wanted it too ~ it's nice when that happens!!
I have it on a 45cm braided necklace, but I think it would look great on a long one over a plain coloured jumper ~ hmmmm, might have to make another for moi!!

NEW DICHROIC GLASS PIECES ...

These are some of the dichroic pendants I got finished this week. There are actually quite a few more, but I ran out of daylight for taking photographs.
Hopefully, if I get some time I will upload the rest to this blog early in the week :^)
These may go to eBay tonight, but it will more likely be tomorrow as I have some other work I need to finish first....

DICHROIC GLASS AUCTION PIECES...

These are the pieces that will be finishing at auction on eBay tomorrow morning.
I'll be back in shortly with my Buy it Now pieces for this week ~ just have to finish editing a couple of photos :^)

TIME OUT......

This is what I've been doing when I've been doing nothing!!

I really CAN'T just sit still....
These two new ACEO's will be added to my ever growing stockpile :^)
They may end up with partners somewhere down the track ~ who knows???

THE NEWEST DICHROIC GLASS PENDANTS...

What a strange day ~I really can't love winter!!! Thank goodness the winter solstice is nearly here and days will start getting longer again...YAY!!!
One minute it's sunny, then as grey as!! Makes for editing photos a bit tricky!!
There were to be a fair few more than these, but they are sitting in varying degrees of "done" ~ some need grinding, some need to be engraved, some just need firing and one needs some tricky sawing :^)
Dichroic glass and artificial light aren't a great pairing!! Way too glary to see what you are doing...
Hopefully there'll be lots of sunshine next week ~ please!!!!

I just have to list my auctions and then these will be going over to eBay as Buy~it~Now pieces.
If anything catches your fancy ~ just shoot me an email, I'll probably be here for the next 3 hours at least!!

AUCTION PIECES FINISHING TOMORROW...

I remembered to add these a couple of days ago and then promptly forgot!!
These are the eight pieces finishing at auction on eBay tomorrow morning.
Different styles and techniques :^)
It really is a shame you can't see these for real ~ they are so much nicer "in the flesh". The colours are awesome!! The first one looks pretty ordinary in the photo, but you should see the sparkle in the little inset strip!! I just wish I had more of that glass ~ I'd make a whopping big one for me :^)
Back shortly with some pieces from this week's efforts.......

SHE'S BACK!!!!

Some of you may remember my "super cool funky chick" from a while back ~ well, she was named by a very good friend of mine and now she's back again, this time sporting a waaaay cool red hat!! Guess she must have turned 50...LOL...
She is going to start at auction on eBay tomorrow morning....

DICHROIC PENDANTS ~ JUST FINISHED...

WOW!! what a week!! The kiln gremlins were out full force this week ~ 3 of my firings pretty well bit the dust. But that's what happens when you try and push things too hard!! What is they say about less haste more speed???
Anyway, I actually surprised myself with what I did get done :^)
Here are some of my new pieces from this week's effort ~ quite a few engraved pieces, some ~ a combo of dimensional and engraving, and a few just dimensional ones.
I haven't even started on my auction pictures yet ~ best I hurry up I think :^)
