I learned how to make this style of floral compression pendant thanks to John Kobuki's class at the J.W. Hull School of Glass Art in Orlando, FL. I was very grateful to be part of this class, as I have admired Kobuki's work for many years, & was honored to be able to study with him. I plan to take the skills I learned from him and develop my own style/twist on these floral pendants.

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...

http://www.theflowmagazine.... Statement and Bio
Kristen Pickett first began flameworking in Charlotte, N.C. more than twentyfive years ago, under the instruction of Richard McCleary of "The Lost Art". This artist's glassblowing co-op also operated the Glass Shop at Carowinds, a theme park on the border of the Carolinas. She continued her creative pursuit of expression through pottery, painting, and jewelry making while simultaneously balancing a nursing career and raising a family. Kristen now devotes the majority of her time to glassworking in her home studio on beautiful Jekyll Island, GA. Gypsea spirit prevailing, she travels frequently back and forth to her new studio in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. She enjoys the laidback tropical lifestyle and the jammin' music from her husband's band, The WharfRatz, of which she is also the managing agent.

changing seasons, changing colors, the sensual twists of the falling leaves as they dance and crackle in the wind....
this series was inspired by my friend dr. ed who gifted me with a treasure box of colored scrap...which i melted down and reformed into this series of autumn leaves bottle stoppers. there is something very sensual about the curved leaf shapes, and with the use of frit and varied colors, they have a great organic feel. i enjoy creating these so much that i have incorporated this into a regular product line.

This is the NON-electric Rock-It foot pedal that I just bought for my new Mirage. It will work with all four prong-2 stage torches. The hoses connect to the inner and outer fire gas fittings. The barbed fittings without the hose attached is for your inflowing oxygen and propane. It is made with a remain switch. When the switch is depressed to the ON position, the outer fire will ignite. Switch does not need to be held down for outer fire to remain ignited. The Rock-It is solely designed as an on/off switch for igniting and exhaustion of pre-set outer fire. This switch is not intended to adjust the flame in any way. It comes with a one year warrenty. Willy Horn recommended Griffin pedals....It was $380. plus 8. shipping, and excellent customer service. I do not know the price for the electric version, I just knew I wanted this non-elec version! If you want one, you can contact Scott Griffin @ scott@griffinglass.com or 607-331-6221

This beautiful 2 inch marble was made for me by glass artist Scott Meyer, aka "Old Marble Nut" for a 2004 contemporary marble exchange. It has a clear core wrapped with a twisted net of white lines, these twisted white lines are then thickly encased in clear, and a tri-color spiral decorates the surface. Fun to hold and admire from all angles!
Thank you, "Old" !
