Head over Heels

This is another one in the brass ring series,the rings i found in the scrapyard which were formerly sealing rings on a General Motors diesel compressor.Check out previous posts for more of the panels,i think i made 15 in all.The glass is Lamberts for the flower heads and a purple Kokomo for the base of one which unfortunately the photograph doesnt do justice to,or maybe its the photographer doesnt.. The other base is a blue/green Lamberts.The background glass is clear and plain. Theres more to see at Lustrousglass.com

Jellies

These are some of the the small pieces(140mm square) i have been working on recently,with a few older ones thrown in so to speak,all in a neat 3x3 lineup.Im not sure if they would look better in a different sequence,il rearrange until it looks right.They are in mostly Lamberts,with some sandblasting,painting and silver stain.Theres more on my website Lustrousglass.com

Underwater animals

Happy 2010 and at last im back doing some glass painting again.These are a couple of small panels(140mm square) in a series of sea creatures that are going to be set into a larger panel . The first is a piece of blue\green art glass that the blue sandblasts off very handily.Its painted and fired.The second is a piece of Lamberts multi-coloured glass that has some really nice colours but for some reason goes a bit muddy when fired in the the kiln,it seems to be a kind of metalling.Maybe a higher temperature would help.I'm working on some more of these creatures and il post them when they come out of the kiln.
