Handcrafted Fusion Glass Jewelry

When my friend Mary asked if I wanted to join her for a fusion glass earrings class, I answered “Yes, that sounds like fun!” The earrings class turned into a new creative hobby. Women want fun accessories to wear to their favorite coffee shop or tea room!

Because I designed and worked for several hours, I brought a large frozen fruit smoothie I blended with non fat yogurt to each session. The Kup Kollar Grande allowed it to melt slowly. I sipped while I drew designs, cut glass, and glued pieces together.

 

The cut pieces are from four different colors of glass. The pieces are glued together and ready for firing in a very hot kiln.

 

Seeing my creations after the firing is always exciting!

Thank you, Coral, owner of Full Spectrum Art Glass Supply in Colorado Springs, for your patience and encyclopedic knowledge of glass fusion techniques!
