Fusing Pictures

I spent the day taking pictures and then getting them ready for publication. It took sooooo long!

Here goes...bracelet-blanks-2-0507-web.jpgThe top two are the bracelet blanks from the previous post. You can't really tell, but they are now slumped and drilled. The bottom left is also another bracelet blank done with clear glass and confetti frit. This is also slumped and drilled. The bottom right is a pendant made from clear glass with green frit sandwiched between and scraps and stringers on top.

This is the top view of the latest drop ring vase I've made. The tile was a mix of black, red, white, and clear glass. I initially made it too big and had to trim it with my new ring saw. I think I should have done the drop with the colors on the outside. There was a really cool bubble--well, it wasn't cool until it slumped and drug out into a clear piece of glass in the black.

I also am including a side view of the vase. It's about 4.5" tall.

misc-0507-1-web.jpgI've done pendants! The one on the left is blue layered with clear, and with gold decals. I love seahorses! On the right are two lampwork beads that I've put on a pendant piece. The other picture are more frit sandwiches. Drilled via drill press, of course! More gold decals. The two bottom left are black and white, with mica powders stamped between. At first I wasn't wild about them, but the pale purple color is growing on me!

The last pieces are what came from my pot melt mess. I salvaged what I could and then cut up the rest with my ring saw. Then I fire polished them. I like the straight sides, but now don't know what to do with them! They almost seem like they should have bezels. Which I don't know how to do. I guess I could take that silver smithing class! lol

Susie, you do such great work -- I just love it all -- I think I'm going to have to talk the girls into taking a weekend so we can all see your great work.

In the third picture from the top you mention a tulip in the third stone from the right. If you look at the third stone from the left, there is another tulip, almost a mirror image, but in a different color. Talk about subliminal!

Love your beads!I'm a lurker on the kiln group. Have learned more this last year on that than the last 10 years put together. Anyway, I collect chili peppers. Would like to buy one of your chili pepper beads if you have any left for sale.
Thanks, Paulette Knipp
