Fused glass Enamel Paintings

This was just posted in Mystic Fusion but these 2 pieces are to nice not to post here as well.

Bob gave me these 2 items today and I will do the initial firing tonight. Tomorrow you can follow up on the Mystic fusion blog if interested

Cast Glass Box

Finally got a box done. Made it with glass powder instead of fine frit because that was all I had. I mixed some "turns pink" into "water clear" I am very pleased with the colour and with different mixing you could do some marbling very easily.
Soon I will have my orders finished and be able to send some time with new rings and pattern bar molds

New Cruise Season Starts

Well it's Friday at noon and I am having a hard time realizing that the first cruise ship arrives in Sydney tomorrow. I am not ready and don't have anything for the shops that carry my work as well on the waterfront. Lorraine and I head out later to set up. Won't take us long. Hoping for a good season this year but really have no idea how it's going to go.
I will tell you tomorrow evening how the day went.

New Fused Glass Pieces

This came out of the kiln this morning. The 2 green trays are done with 2 layers of clear and a combination of frits that remind me of tide pools formed between rocks once the tide goes out.
"Missy" the face has been slumped into a bowl and will end up in a gallery in Cheticamp in a folk art gallery .
The lattice work bowl is destined for a shop in Mahone Bay. Check out my web site
www.caperglasscreations.com
to see where our pieces are carried.
The final tray is going to the Cape Breton Center for Craft and Design for their auction Friday night.
Hope they have a successful night.

A Cousin

Since this is my blog about all glass I do as well as living in Cape Breton, today I will post the cousin. I am pleased with this pieces and would like to do a series but can't quite figure out how to display them. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Also fired some of our (Bob MacDougall and I) Mystic Fusion pieces and am hoping I can enter them in this part of the post.

 

  

I have to say photos don't do these items   justice. Next shots will be these done up into pendants
