Raymac Glass

It’s that time of year: glass pumpkin season! Stop in and check out the Glass Axis pumpkin patch starting today 10/8 and running through next week. There’s an amazing amount of fall themed glass art from local glass artists (including yours truly 😉).

Another experimental piece in the 2020 collection. This one is iris black with some shade of opaque green that said to try. She was right (btw she’s always right). The green is layered on top of the iris black after the crackle and pre optic. This has a very interesting glow to it since the green is not transparent. Need to try some more opaque crackle tests for sure based on this one. Stem is reduced iris black in a piglet tail stem.

One of my favorite things about making pumpkins is the ability to experiment. Since people have a huge variety of taste when it comes to what they want to buy, I don’t have to worry (as much) about what would be “marketable.”

This is encased enamel white with iris black AND green luster crackled. The slight purple shadow cast onto the white inside layer gives the crackle a much lighter feel. The luster and iris crackled together is a very unique effect that is subtle until you get up close.

Definitely a one of a kind piece that still takes all of the elements from this years collection.
