Wow, where has the time gone this spring!
Although we had the typical spring snow and rain, my time was consumed by a project away from my studio.
As a part-time artist, I usually only get weekends to venture out to heat up the cold studio and get in some "kiln-time". These past 8 months have limited those days to 1 or 2 days each month.
Between all my color testing and the glass I have stacked for new bead sets, I am looking forward to recapturing some lost time and stretching my creative skills again.
I picked up some rod of CiM's Sea Mist on my last visit to Nortel and decided to see how it paired with some silver glass for my interchangeable beads.
This glass is showing as Sold Out on the CiM website, so if you are interested in purchasing some, please reach out to Jean at Nortel soon before her stock is gone forever.
This glass was created in response to requests for a streaky blue. The rod itself is a core of clear glass, encased in transparent blue, encased in clear.
When making spacers, I did get the streaky look with a few bubbles which I thought kept within the sea mist theme.
I tested it as a base and encasement of silver glass to see if it would fume or react.
I think the result is beautiful!
Here are photos of the two sets that I created:
