Torchin with the stars

Torchin with the stars

(SheilaM)
Thanks to a friend on LE (Bernadette Fuentes) I was inspired to make my own star cane and add some stars to these people beads I can not stop making... I just LOVE to create concepts in my beads with people.

Meditation

Meditation

(SheilaM)
I am fascinated with the human form and sculpting it. I try to sculpt forms that reference thoughts that I find to be positive. Even though, I myself have a hard time turning the thoughts off in my brain. I like to be reminded to at least try.
Meditation is a good thought.

Crescent moon Silhouette

Crescent moon Silhouette

(SheilaM)
I am so obsessed with this special tequilla orange and this transparent cobalt. This is such a beautiful contrast. The crescent moon Goddess can be seen from behind, a shadow of the silhouette...
Graceful Odalisque

Graceful Odalisque

(SheilaM)
Just a tilt of the head and all I could think of was the word, "Graceful".
thanks for looking! I threw a couple more pictures of other "odalisque's" in here too.

Crescent moon Goddess Meditation

Crescent moon Goddess Meditation

(SheilaM)
Celebrating the beauty of the female form and meditation. This is one of the larger figures I have been sculpting lately. You will be seeing some larger work coming from me.
Thanks for looking,
2-1/8" tall x 1-1/8" wide
Enjoy!

Hippie chick sister...

Hippie chick sister...

(SheilaM)
The hippie is a difficult form to sculpt (for me). Most end up with a crack in the head? This one came out nice. On e bay this week of June. Enjoy! Peace murrini and a sculpted heart emphasize Peace and Love...
such a good idea.

Elegance for the jeweler

Elegance for the jeweler

(SheilaM)
I really love elegance. My studio is elegant. While I am well on my way to requiring more money for health insurance...I have decided to start making beads specifically for the jewelry making peoples. (Yes, I know, what an "original" idea, lol) I will be creating elegant focals with matching sets.
Thanks for looking, and check back by July, I will have lots of elegance to share. Thank you!

Fire and Ice Inspiration

Fire and Ice Inspiration

(SheilaM)
I have a habbit for making art for all kinds of art shows and then not sending them in the mail. This is my Fire and Ice sculpture/ beads? I think it is just ascuplture with a hole. She is Goddess of Ice and the opalino glass is representing a fire with rocks. I see my work getting to be more about sculpture and less about beads, or more about beads and less about sculpture...we'll see?
Large Soul Gestures

Large Soul Gestures

(SheilaM)
Combining some traditional soft glass techniques, and some sculptural techniques is interesting me. So, I have a transparent cobalt base, with silver foil burnished over that, and rubino d'oro strings of glass, topped off with a really expensive transparent cobalt special something? The bead itself consists of techniques that I learned from reading tutorials by Michale Barley. The figure is created using hot glass relief techniques I re-invented, I suppose... This piece is the beginning to something. The third of its kind. I am Proud to say, it Sold fast at its first show. Along with another one that is similar (to a collector from Canada).
What an honor...when someone is excited about the work.
Really helps to keep me going! Thank you, and Enjoy!

Large sexy lady on a bead!

Large sexy lady on a bead!

(SheilaM)
Something about becoming one with a meaningful object, that is so SPECIAL! If only her soul could feel as special as that bead is to her....
hm...yes... little bit conceptual; maybe too personal...
I don't know? I will have to work on explaining this one.

~*Bara*~

~*Bara*~

(TracyJerrellAkhtar)
Bara means rose or rosebush in Japanese. Inspired by a colossal rose bush I saw in Tombstone, Arizona. This rose bush is so large, it's held up by supports and you can walk underneath while it spreads out like a canopy over your head.
~*Doris the Mermaid*~

~*Doris the Mermaid*~

(TracyJerrellAkhtar)
A mermaid based loosely on a painting I did about 4 years ago. In the painting, I have a mermaid with a black bottom half instead of the usual green/blue and her tail is flipping up behind her. So here's a mermaid with a black tail decorated with silver and reactive glass.
Hippie with a face try 2

Hippie with a face try 2

(SheilaM)
A process that I am still working on....sculpting the murrini into a face on a hippie chick. This is try 2.
introduced to the flame 3 times. most likley a three hour bead?

Enjoy!

Guardian Angels

Guardian Angels

(R.G.Glass)
This is the second attempt at creating a pair of figures, Angels, on one mandrel, one bead. Soft glass, gold-fumed. they are connected at the hips, shoulders and heads.
Landscapes and Goddesses

Landscapes and Goddesses

(SheilaM)
I really enjoy using my shorts to create cane to make flowers and latticino. After studying with Loren Stump, I know many ways to do this. I am using the cane to make landscapes that are dream-like. And the Goddess; My favorite relief to create.
(August 2007)
Peace.
