coldworked gypsea jewelry

flameworked/coldworked borosilicate jewelry.
these were formed on a mandrel with various layers of colors, clear, powders and frits, annealed in kiln, cut on a wet saw, polished on a lapidary wheel, reheated in a kiln, edges then smoothed in torch flame, reannealed, piece was then wired with sterling silver.

thanks to Andrew Brown / KBGlassworks for the inspiration for this style. theirs is the first coldwork that i ever saw pics of, and i was fascinated by the whole concept of it and just had to try something along those lines...
