Painting with glass

A Vitreous Girl

Here is another image from my recent glass work. Its around 10 x 14 x 3/8 inches and contains gold mica and powdered glass applied in the interior layers like paint. Even though I've used a lot of the tricks in my kit bag in making this photo, its hard to see all the qualities of 3d glass in a 2d photo. There is a lot of internal iridescence in this piece that you can't see here. But this is a decent approximation.

 

There is now another glass gallery in the painting galleries section with a few more projects from the cascade workshop series. 

Here is another image from the recent batch

 

Got to fuse some more! 

New Glass

I'm coming off a month of intensive glass kiln work and wanted to share some of the latest. Thanks to my friend Jim, I've got some images to share. Hoping to have a new glass gallery up soon. here is a sneak peak.
