In addition to glass beads I also make fused glass wall hangings. These pieces are designed to be displayed on the wall like paintings. I include a French cleat and hardware for hanging.
In contrast to most glass art, my work emphasizes opacity rather than transparency. I overlay a white or light colored glass with a colored transparent piece. This creates depth while at the same time stopping the eye and focusing it on the center of interest-the flower.
I use a layered fusing process. I fire each piece twice, adding one layer to the original each time. Each layer is fired at successively lower temperatures to control the rate of melting. This creates a more three-dimensional look. The last firing usually includes some glass pieces I make at the torch. These include flower centers, stamen and other fine details.
