Our lovely roses box, all finished with a dark wenge base and a clear glass top with an etched  hummingbird with dichroic extract fused into it for subtle glimmer that echoes the pink and green of the roses on it. Hello, but it turned out great. On to body parts!

Below, a few new things right out of the kiln:a box with faces cast in 4 different colors, one on each side that blended together beautifully. Aint that seriously creepy? But in a really pretty way? A head top is also shown, in a lavender blue, with 3 heads put together. This will probably go on a different box, since too much pretty creepiness would probably result from putting them together.

 And below, a top with a glass hand rising from it. Zombiesque!  Also, a new tentacles box in cast glass. Both hand and tentacles are in shift tint glass, so they appear different colors in natural vs indoor light. Behold! Ah, I do love tentacles. I feel a bug phase coming on, though. Beetles. Lots and lots of glass beetles


And we'll be at Septemberfest at the Museum of the Southwest in Midland, Texas next weekend. Come out and see us and all the other artists there!
