Pique Assiette Antique Washstand



After nearly 2 months of work, I have finally finished the antique washstand.  I completed the fused bowl first and then worked the glass and ceramic design around the basin theme.  It is all that I first imagined when I saw it tucked away in the dusty corner of the antique store.  It does amaze me sometime how our mind's eye can see what can become with a little creativity, hard work and love.

Organic Slump Mold from Creative Paradise




My organic slump mold from Creative Paradise finally arrived and the results are just--WOW!  I knew I had to have it when I saw it in Vegas.  I used bejeweled frit mix, vitigraph stringers, millefiori and iridized frit for the flowers.  This is a donated piece for the local CEC chapter for their spring fundraiser.

Japanese Style Sushi Plate Set


This week I completed a 4 piece place setting of Japanese Sushi dinner plates and rice bowls with matching chopsticks. Each plate is banded in differing warm colors and all included a cyan/red dichroic swirl.  These were done using Sys96 glass and Slumpy's Jumping Jill splash molds.
