Christmas Ornaments

I made small jewelry pendant sized wreaths, and suddenly I wanted to try making ornaments as well... so after some experimenting this is how they turned out. Each of these are about three inches across plus the silver bail. They are tack fused and then I used my glass glazes (check out the hand painted glass on my website for an example)to add words and another layer of texture in pearl white. These ornaments meld my work in kiln glass fusing and glazing glass together. The wreath is made from crushed stained glass and also some crushed dichroic glass, all carefully placed with a clear section in the middle. All of them (some photos were taken before I had added the bails)now have a silver jewelry bail. I think these would be pretty in a window at Christmas time!

Donuts hot and fresh from the kiln!

Millefiori glass, dichroic glass and lots of color in a wearable donut style wire wrapped with red covered copper wire.
Pink dichroic glass donuts with accent colors and some millefiori glass.
Some misc donut pendants. Direct sun really doesn't work for photographing these.
Delicate wreaths of colored glass and millefiori in a tack fused style that keeps the texture of the glass but takes off all the sharp edges. These would be beautiful to wear or to dress up a Christmas tree or gift for the holidays! Click image for a better look at the larger image. I think I'd wear it on a ribbon at the holidays and/or maybe hang it in the window over the holidays. Cute and delicate looking pendant or ornament.

All donut styles are $25 each.
