One of my first Fused Glass Pieces

The first batch I did of fused glass pendants was in a workshop with my mentor. I made 4 pendants in about 2 hours and it was fired and I picked it up the next day. At that moment...I fell in love with it. I instantly loved fused glass!!! And I also fell in love most particularly with one of the pendants I made that day. It is one of my all time favorites and I almost decided to keep it for myself....but I said no...this is a business and I will make this available for somebody that connects with it. 

I have named it VENETIAN ROSE....the way the glass is arranged, it sort of reminds me of a rose... And I called it Venetian because it reminds me of the glass made in Italy...murano glass. Here it s my VENETIAN ROSE....

 

One of my most favorite dichroic patterned glass is the Florentine dichro. It has a gorgeous shimmery essence to it. The flowers are beautiful and when the light hits it, it just bursts with all sorts of sparkle. The best part of creating with this glass is mixing and matching with other transparent and solid glass.

This one is the simplest...florentine on a black backing. Black always brings out so much when using it with dichro..everything is so intense. 

I named this piece MIDNIGHT FLORENTINE. This one will be available very soon on my ZALORA shop page. Yup I became part of Zalora as a seller. But I am still waiting for my boutique page to go live. It should be any day now...

So, you can check out soon. This one is php1,480..including free shipping!!!

Editing Dichroic Pendant Pics

So i haven't actually tested my new kiln here yet. I have been trying to set up the home studio first and get all things together. I just recently purchased a transformer to plug in the 110V kiln which I am officially going to introduce in one of my next posts...so no picture of "her" quite yet.

Tomorrow will be the first day that I will be creating "new" glass pendants....I plan on firing them sometime within the week...possibly wed or thursday. I will need to make around 12-15 pieces for a batch of firing. Of course since it is my first firing here, it will need to be somewhat of a test fire because I am not quite sure if the firing sched will be the same as I did in Colorado where I learned to use my kiln.

As for now, I still have a bunch of my finished pendants to post. So I have been trying to take pictures of them that I can post in my website and facebook pages. Although I do like how the photos came out, it still is missing something. I mean if you look at my pendants in real life, they seem to pop with color and glow and sparkle....how do i capture that digitally?

Well, maybe with practice.... what do you think of these so far...

I gave each of them a name since each one will be a one of a kind piece...

Those are the few that I have edited so far. When you look at these pendants, there are particular ones that call out to you because of their colors or the way they light gives them a certain glow....and sometime it calls out to how you feel ...almost like bottled up emotions that you can see and wear and only you can understand....that's what I think about these pendants....

More to come in the next few days.....

Meanwhile....please visit my facebook page and you can see the pendants there too...here is the link...
