Metamorphosis No.2

"Metamorphosis No.2" is an intricate enamel set that features lovely stringer/enamel work (on both sides of the lentil focals).  Just to give you an idea of the time involved, 1 winged lentil involves approximately 45 minutes of torch time.  The smaller caterpillar accents also feature a dusting of colorful enamel.  It was well worth the time to create this unique set.  Enjoy!

Nautical

Just a quick post before the usual Saturday house cleaning.  Finishing up pictures for a nautical set.  The 14mm accent lentils are actual nautical flag designs that can be customized to represent special individual initials.  Love the personalized touch.   Off to clean... Anchors Away!

Crazy Lace



Occasionally, I find myself stuck in a creative rut... so I put on a happy tune and start pulling out favorite colors of glass.  The outcome is always a roll of the dice.  The result can be fabulous or failure. From Gizmo's reaction, the process of getting my groove back isn't all that flamboyant or even interesting in the least.  He was downright bored out of his furry noggin.

Aral Sea

Just a quick post to share "Aral Sea".  I'm off to fire up the kiln and finish some new sets. 
Enjoy, Heather

To Protect and Serve

A tribute honoring all of our law enforcement heroes who wear the shield to keep us safe (even those with 4 legs).

Metamorphosis

During the summer, our fence is enveloped by climbing milkweed called Honeyvine.  The hungry caterpillars munch and munch and munch until the amazing metamorphosis occurs.  This life cycle of the Monarch inspired me in creating a unique lampwork set.  Enjoy!
