Cape Cod Style

So another Cape artist, Jeanmarie of Bass River Pottery, recommended I do something quintessentially Cape Cod.

So I commissioned a company, Soap Impressions, to make me a CC stamp that I could use for jewelry.

This is CIM glass in "Ogre", which has some color variations develop as it is worked. The earring backs I purchased as a lot from another jewelry. Opaque colors, particularly Dark Ivory give the best definition.

I'll be selling there at my HyArts shanty in Hyannis from 8/8 - 8/14 and again from 9/5 - 9/11.

See you at the beach.

Double Helix

I continue my slooooow exploration of some of the DH silver glass library. Below are some diamond shaped beads of heavily encased Thallos. Had no idea what to expect and actually expected something completely different. The DH actually looked reddish during the reduction phase so I was pleasantly surprised to find these coming out as a blue/green opal. Gorgeous!

Helios

Frantz Art Glass had a sale a couple of weeks ago and I picked up some Double Helix Helios. WOW. What a great color. When flashed it turns a lovely golden shade. It's quickly replacing Aurae as my favorite DH accent glass. Here are some sample pieces:
