Jones Art Glass iTwist

  « Rashan Omari Jones: Jones Art Glass

(Encased Beads)

Jones Art Glass iTwist The iTwist is my newest design added to the Jones Art Glass collection. Its an encased, Boro, lampworked bead/pendant and features an encapsulated High Desert Twist trapped beautifully within a super magnified layer of clear boro. I enjoy evolution of style and I truly enjoyed creating the high desert twist; so its awesome to expand on an already fun idea. I'll be debuting this design at The Beast Bead Show 1rst annual Tucson Fall Show in a few days. I truly enjoy the finished product and up close the colors stack up and twist into beautiful sprial "steps". Thanks for spending some time with me...

I used GA indigo with clear dot overlays to create the stars in the heavens look to the top of this piece. The smooth greens of the earth floating neatly underneath a darkened sky...

This is a peek at the next project coming out of the studio. I'm using a sandblaster to add a matte finish to these pendants, hopefully bringing out a more organic look.

This is a very basic cobalt blue with a Silver strike outer wrap to accent the cool blues. The top of the bead is also Silver Strike displaying the versatility of the color; from warm creams to deep purple and sandstones...

This one is actually made with a mixed down emerald but reflects a vibrant yellow.

Jones Art Glass
Hand crafted Lampwork reflecting the beauty of the High Desert Southwest. I began Lampworking in spring of 2000. The work presented here is a testament to all the hard work, patience, and skill it takes to keep glass hot, well formed, and beautiful. There's no where on earth quite as eye catching as the desert here in New Mexico, hopefully my work captures that. Without the patience and support of God and my colleauges I never could have made it this far. Thank you to: Lewis Wilson and the whole Crytal Myths fam, KBGlassworks for all the things I cant mention here, and the glass support, The Wisconsin Squad, Paul and Devin; the Queen City Lampworks team for trading me for my first beads without clowning me, Harold Williams Cooney aka"Happy" your work ethic is amazing, Kevin O'Grady for showing me how to sell all this stuff I keep making, and of course my son Noah...Its all for you man. Feel free to contact me either by Phone or Email for all purchase information. Thank you for spending some time with me...
