 This fall season, I am working up some new kinds of glass work. I am developing some forms that are made out of recycled bottle glass. My first attempts at this are a bit rough, as I lack some equipment that I really need, like a lap grinder and a saw, so I am breaking the source glass with a hammer, fusing the broken glass into a thick form that I can then slump. I am hand cutting and doing some grinding work, but my goal is to get this new equipment I need this year so I can make some more finished forms,.

I have to say,I actually like the primitive bowls and the fact that they are made from 100% recycled bottles really excites me. 

I also took a broken vase someone gave me, broke it up, re-fused it, then slumped that fused piece into a small dish form, it came out like this:

Some new jewelry I am making is created from African recycled glass beads, and copper wire. I didn't make the beads, but I do the wire work. Again, sort of primitive and tribal looking.  

I am also working on some more traditional glass but painting the pieces myself, and creating other different kinds of bowls. I will post pics as I finish pieces. I also plan on doing some more jewelry, sets of things made out of glass, copper and also glass and silver that I will metal-smith all by hand. I am not sure where I am going with all this, but this is the direction I am going! More soon.

I know, I know, I make glass right? Yes that is true, but lately I have been experimenting with metal again. I studied metalsmithing for around 3 or 4 years but put it down for a while. I am still not in possession of a good torch, but one is coming soon. I am instead, cold-working metal, using material like copper pipe, copper and sterling sheet, and various kinds of wire. It's very exciting, though my hands hurt. 

I will post pics as soon as I finish. I am doing all this work to prepare for this jewelry and accessory expo in Peachtree City, GA this Saturday. After that, I will be also posting more jewelry online, unless I sell out! That would be nice, as I can always make more. Ok, that is all.
