HIDDEN TREASURES...

It's amazing what you come across when you're actually looking for something else!!
I found these little babies in a drawer ~ stashed away for when I was working in PMC.
To give you an idea of size ~ the one in the middle is only 24mm x 15mm.
Microscopic compared to what I am doing now!!
Any takers???
Make me an offer and they're yours :^)

MY NEWEST DICHROIC GLASS PENDANTS...

Here are some of my newest pieces from this week.
All multi~layered pieces, most with hand~painted white gold lustre.




And these two are from my newest lot of glass that just came in. Instead of just being a plain colour (like the majority of the art glass I use ~ these all have some form of pattern on them. I have more colours to try out ~ I'm just waiting on some more dichro to arrive :^)
The photos really don't do either of these pendants justice ~ as both of them catch the light, they flash the most brilliant purple.
They are STUNNING!!

NEW PENDANT/EARRING SETS...

I'm in slow motion today for some strange reason...it's not as if I slept in ~ I was up very early ~ the kiln was on at 4.00am!!
I had quite a few bails to attach, a heap of photos to do, shopping that was delivered to unpack and put away and a couple of phone calls to make....
Needless to say I'm a bit behind where I would have liked to have been.

Here are a few new sets, that will possibly go to eBay tomorrow morning (?)
All going well, there will be some more pictures up a bit later this afternoon.

WAITING IN THE WINGS....

These are part of my ever expanding little army waiting patiently to have their turn on the glass grinder. This lot is about one third of what is residing on my kitchen bench at the moment.
It doesn't leave much room for food preparation ~ what a shame!!! LOL!!
Just thought you might be interested to see what I was tackling today and will be again tomorrow. Some of these pieces will have two more goes through the kiln yet....

EBAY AUCTION PIECES...

Not as early as I would have liked getting these pictures posted ~ but nonetheless,heaps earlier than last week!!!
A couple of previous ideas revisited :^) I'm very happy how all these pieces have worked...

DICHROIC GLASS PENDANTS...

Here are some of my newest pendants. I do have more pictures to do, but sadly this afternoon I ran out of daylight. I'm hoping I may be able to get some more done tomorrow sometime. I have six pendant and earring sets finished as well as some more engraved pendants.
It is still quite early here (not quite 8.30pm) but I am now on my way to bed. I am having serious trouble keeping my eyes open as well as having a ripper headache! We had a 4.15am start today and I can barely stay awake. It may get dark early here so as to muck up taking photos, but it is also almost daylight at some ridiculous hour ~ hence the early start.....

Some dimensional pieces...




Fully fused glossy pendants, some with haindpainted gold, some with dragonflies or blossoms and one with just absolutely gorgeous layered glass,..



OK ~ I'm outta here ~ good night!!
