Fun at Maker Faire NC

This past weekend, I went down to Raleigh, NC for Maker Faire NC on June 18th. It was my second time there and lots of fun. People who make all sorts of things were there of course. Among them were several clubs from all over the Raleigh-Durham area. There were electronics, robotics, science [...]

Pendant – PFD_0609_018

This is “Soul Stone III” – it was part of a series I did for a commission. Commission pieces are done as a series with the buyer choosing their final purchase.

Pendant – PF_0606_012

A very tailored shape with an attractive mix of blue-green color on a white base. I was thinking of the sea when I made this one. To give this one the tailored look I wanted – I used my glass grinder to shape and smooth the sides into a longer leaner looking shape.

Pendant – PF_0709_020

This is a dainty light blue swirled glass with mixed blue accents.

Pendant – PF_0606_011

A small rounded fused glass pendant with a sprinkle of red (almost cranberry) and black frit on a white base.
