Busy Busy Busy
The weather is slowly changing and trying to get into the studio to work - Some Lampworking was accomplished with small boro hearts to go onto byzantine bracelets. large heart pendant beads and other glass lampwork. A scrapbook crop and got some of the Mothers day paper heart shadow boxes done along with cutting some laser earrings. Hoping this weekend more time in the studio - Hooking up new Kiln I got in November and getting my big kiln running to make plates - Hopefully more postings this year
Mothers Day Shadow Boxes
Valentine/Mothers Day Shadow Boxes - make with paper rolled flowers in the shape of a heart (I have a dog one coming soon)
Phrases will be going on to these for mothers day when I get them cut
2 Hours in the Studio - still cold
I went up to the studio in hopes of lampworking. I refuse to turn on the big heater until its warmer so I can use my big kilns - (Hydro is costly ) The outside was 42F start temp inside was 47F and by the time I finished it was still only 57F only my feet were cold . But I was able to make up some larger boro heart pendants and some spacer beads.
Laser Cutting this week
Started to laser cut for earrings to get stock up - Grinches, Sally & Jack, Stictch & Angel, Garfield & Odie to start
Byzantine bracelet with Lampwork hearts
size 7" and 8" bracelets - boro glass hearts with stainless steel byzantine jump ring bracelets and some boro heart earrings with niobium wires
Shrink Plastic - butterflies
Picked up some eyeshadow for colors to apply - they seem easier than using the distress inks and are more vibrant it seems - when you reduce the color gets stronger as it shrinks - The original size of the butterfly was 2.5" and it reduced down to 1" - I used a black Sharpie and used the eye shadows for color
