In 2010 I completed a course with an amazing Glass Artist from America, Andrea Guarino who introduced me to a wonderful silver fuming technique that creates the amazing effect that you see in the photo.
It never ceases to amaze me how spectactular Lampworking can be and how far you can stretch the traditional techniques.
The photo in this Blog is from a piece I completed as a trial for a competition in which I wanted to encase the technique that Andrea had taught me within the femal form.
As you can see from the photo I did ok with the shape and was really excited that the encased and fumed glass looked like muscles within the body.
I am really excited to play with this a bit more and see what I can make.

Beautiful things!

I am always amazed at the beautifl things that devlop in nature and most of my work is inspired by the world around me.

I was recently asked to make something unusual for a client that was going to a special occasion and this is the result.

It is a gorgeous mix of red glass flowers in a necklace with small seed pods.

It was inspired by my grandmother's garden. She always has something interesting and beautiful planted and it always makes me smile and so does this necklace.
Cheers,
