~ Faceted Opal Implosion Marble~

~ Faceted Opal Implosion Marble~

I've been busy experimenting with faceting lately. I absolutely fell in love with the process! This marble measures 1 1/2". There's about 9 rows of facets all the way around the top 1/2 which breaks up the light, opal and inner pattern beautifully. This piece is featured in the Second Annual Women in Glass issue of The Flow Magazine.

~ Galaxy Pendants ~

~ Galaxy Pendants ~

My galaxy pendants are made with dichroic glass. Each piece is made with a galaxy chip that I create before the pendant making process begins. The surface is wrapped with a window of color and fumed with pure gold and silver, creating shifting tones of a burnt orange to vibrant sage green. Each dot has a bubble suspended in it. Enjoy!

~ Reversal Votive ~

~ Reversal Votive ~

Well this started out as a jar, but I haven't been able to find a cork big enough to fit it so I thought....hmmmm....a candle votive! I think it looks really neat and wish I had made a set of them. Oh well next time!
Around the base is a bangle that is not attached but I thought accented the bottom well. I bought the bangles as a set at a fleamarket in NC a few years back. The woman seemed to think they were from Mexico. They are a turquoise opalesent glass bangle surrounded by some type of silver metal that is stamped with fillagree and dragon type designs. In the center on each is a triangle with an eye in the middle. Anyone have any clue where they could be from?

2004 Inside Out Beads

2004 Inside Out Beads

These are my best selling beads...they start out hollow, then I condense them into a solid form. They are pierced with tungsten while the glass is still hot to create the hole. Most are made with only one color of glass. The variation in color comes from the fuming patterns I create with gold and silver.

I started working on the torch in 1995 and life just hasn't been the same since! Each new day holds opportunity to learn and grow, a never ending process I find with glass. I feel it's such a blessing to have something I love so much in this life. Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my work. My glass is for sale...Custom and Wholesale orders are welcome! Please check out my eBay auctions under the seller name FIREDANCEGLASS. Thanks!

Love your work
I got one of your pendants before I started working glass, and would have to say it was one of my greatest inspirations to start doing it myself. Thanks for hard work and inspiration!
