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.

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?
Getting Serious

Getting Serious

(JakeMoskowitz)
I've changed my technique from the old pendants and decided to make beaded chains for these guys. All the pendants are boro and the chains are all different types of stones. Hope you enjoy!
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!

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.

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.

Latticino Landscapes

Latticino Landscapes

(SheilaM)
Very inspired by the colorful bead makers in the art glass community; Sara Hornick, Trey Cornette...and more! One of my biggest struggles is, making things "pretty"; I get wrapped up in the meaning.
I am very happy with this series. I am happy to say it has been well received; thank you!
