The Jewelry Creation Obsession continues

I'm always creating new stuff.  In fact, here recently I took a class on fusing glass pieces to begin making jewelry pendants and earrings.  I carried that a little further by purchasing my first kiln, rearranging my garage, and firing new pieces on an almost daily basis.

Here are some of the fused pieces that I've created, I'm still in the learning stages.  I also included some more pieces in my original "styles".  I especially like the Blue Tacky Squares necklace/bracelt combo.  The really cool blue pyramid cubes I recieved from my friend Amy who sells her stuff at www.HipposEatingAlligators.com.  The wire work I did myself.  I have many more colors from Amy, and I'm looking forward to collaborating with her more in the future.


For the other bright blue bracelet, I made all of the coin beads.  This is the second time I've sat down at a torch to make beads.  I had an enjoyable time and tried to make some beads with a similar look and feel.  I had a few more made up, but they didn't fare well coming off of the mandrel.  Seems you have to head up the bead release the right way for the beads to come off cleanly and without sticking to the mandrel.
