Glass Rods Come In Many Colors

These are the glass rods I use for my pendants, earrings and sometimes mini sculptures and marbles. The red glass rod you see in my hand is going to be melted in my torch flame and used to make the little petals in a flower pendant.

Now that I have my new oxygen concentrator, I'm back to work!

 

As you can see this concentrator is for extreme artists, so I guess I picked the right one!

New Studio Space

This is my new shared studio space with Earthforge Jewellery and Seaside Creations, located at 159 Water St. in the beautiful historic district of St. Andrews by the Sea. I will be busy this month finishing up my wholesale orders. Next month we will be getting some display cabinets and sectioning off a space for our gallery. We are very excited and hope to have our grand opening in May.

Fish Beads

Here are some fish beads annealing in the kiln. I made these into earrings.

In The Studio

 Four shades of green that I have melted and twisted together.

Here is the twisted stringer I made from those four green rods in the previous pic. I made it by melting the rods together and than twisting and pulling them.

 Here is a pendant I made using the twisted stringer.

 I melted light turquoise on the back, you can see a bit of it coming through in the design.

My working studio is located in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada.
