Focal Hearts

Posted by Payton Jett on 5/20/2007
Ah, this is one of my aboslute favorite pieces. I got into a real "ocean" groove this spring and a lot of the beads I ended up making were with Vetro Streaky Sapphire and the new Vetro Light Brown. I started playing around with etching with ivory and baking soda as well to get that "sandy" feel. This one obviously is not etched or with soda. The dots made me think of bubbles coming up from the ocean floor.

"S" Ended up being for Sarah
Not a hard heart to make and simplistic in it's design, just a pretty little bead that I wanted to share. I never intended for the raku to be an "S" but someone else took it personally and bought it for that very reason. Neat.

This ended up being a very organic-looking and special bead to me. This was the very first bead I ever sold on ebay. I had a blast making it!

Alaskan Stream
Coral and steel blue gave this heart a "cool" feeling. I should have taken a picture from the side so the depth of the glass could be seen. 5 layers of clear and color- FUN!

Mod by the Ocean
I wanted to make a heart that made you feel like you were looking into the bottom of the ocean at the same time that had a modern feel. I don't know if I nailed it or not but I absolutely love this heart. 27mm long.

I am a lifetime artist and semi-new lampworker. I started making glass beads and sculpturals in October of 2006. I love all art forms but seem to be able to express myself in a deeper and more meaningful way through glass. This is what I identify with now and I feel fortunate to have found this craft.
