EBAY THIS WEEK...

WHOOPS!! ~ nearly forgot to do this....merrily grinding away at the bench and I just remembered I'd completely forgotten to add these pictures. I'm truly off in la la land sometimes!!
Anyway, these are the dichroic pendants I have up for auction this week on eBay.
Not too sure at this stage if there will be a lot more pictures this week ~ I have been concentrating on getting some custom orders done and doing some experimenting with the torch, so haven't spent a great deal of time on stock pieces...

MORE DICHROIC GLASS PENDANTS...

I've finally finished my photo editing for the day :^)
Here are some more of my pendants that are available now.
You will notice some of these have different bails to the usual ones ~ I am trialling them for a friend that will soon have them for sale for other jewellery artists too.
I'm quite liking these ~ especially the larger plain ones ~ it will mean for some of my bigger heavier pendants one bail will be enough for it to be secure. And the other bonus is they are totally nickel free which means a lot more people should be able to wear them. They are gold and silver plated over a copper base. I think I'll have to send something down to my SIL in Melbourne and see if she is brave enough to be a crash test dummy/ guinea pig for me :^) * I mean that in the nicest possible way KM!!!!
I'll be away from the computer for the next couple of hours ~ I've just taken some U~beaut pain killers and need to try and stop this mega headache I can feel coming on. They better work ~ I still have my eBay listings to do tonight!!!







LITTLE BUBBLE FLOWERS...

Some more of my little bubble flower dichroic glass pendants.
There are more photos coming ~ I had almost all of my pictures done by yesterday afternoon and I was just going through and saving them and my darling computer decided to do a memory dump!!! I have no idea what it is or why it chose to do this, but I was not a happy camper!!
I will be back a bit later with some more pictures ~ they're almost done (again) ~ I just need to go and have some lunch first.

MY LATEST EBAY AUCTIONS...

Yes, I know it's ONLY Tuesday morning ~ what is the world coming too???
Another very early start here ~ I've been up and at it since 4.30am, Gary left for work over an hour ago and I'm just waiting for the kiln to go off before I go and have a shower and then get stuck into some engraving :^)
So, instead of adding these pictures the day before they finish ~ here they are...
From the small square engraved one to the whopping big violet one at the end ~ these are all as different as chalk is to cheese and I love them all :^)
I am really happy with all of them ~ but I think the little pink, white and black one is up there with my all time favourites ~ I feel the need coming on to make myself a BIG one in the same style and colours!!

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.
