Pictures In Glass

My fabric is in, my cards are on their way, and I’m still working on the glass buttons for the pillows. What the last ones looked like after opening the kiln. Still not happy. Trying again on the right.

I share these because I love watching the process of an artist. Also because I think people need to see what goes into creating original work of art, not something from Lowe’s, not something from Hobby lobby. Nothing against them, I shop there too. But what I create is original, from scratch, not just home “baked” like a roll of cookie dough from the grocery store. Today’s kiln firing just started, trying a sample of a fused glass button versus torch worked bead.

So ... this is just a sample pillow created with my artwork printed on the front and a trillium glass bead on the back flap. Excited to get my professionally printed ones next week and work on perfecting my glass beads for the back. Plan to take some of these to Artalicious Fine Arts Fair in a couple of weeks. My finished pieces will be more professionally done. But wanted to share to get feedback. Honest feedback.
