​Old Pandoras Box Creations

​

​Glass in its fluid form does what it wants.  The artist can only hope to direct some of its magic.
Artistically hand designed with a passion for bold color and an eye for maximum sparkle.
Complex layered designs fired and cooled, usually the first time through the kiln is about 24 hours.
Glass slabs are processed through a wet tile saw, cold worked and refired to a fire-polished smoothness.
 I use kiln-formed glass to create art jewelry, small display dishes and Christmas ornaments. 
You never know what will come out of Pandoras box- it is always a unique surprise!

Unfired dichoic glass.                                                            Dichroic glass color shift after firing.

Dichroic glass arranged in a mold to make a slab tile.  This picture shows the color shift from unfired to fired dichroic glass.  The unfired looks like blues and greens.  The fired side looks like cobalt blue and teal.

This beautiful medium has color shift before, depth of design changes and color change after. Also when you wear the item, it shifts and sparkles based on the angle  of the viewer, the placement of the item and the ambient light.  This glass is not static, it is a delightful medium that chance or fate has a hand in along with the artist.
