A Story and a Pendant

This is part of a new story and pendant line I am now making. I hope you enjoy the adventure of our great Warrior Zachius, as there will be more to come.

The Lost Pendant Of Warrior Zachius

Zachius was a young but well traveled warrior who fought and won many battles. Fighting for the right to make and sell handmade items. Some thought the battle was lost since Zachius was never seen again and his pendant that he wore for good luck was found while excavating in Antas, the last reported battle he fought in. As you can see the pendant is not whole after many years of battle not to mention being hit by an arrow to save Zachius's life more than once, this is all that remains. But if the rumors are true Zachius is alive and well and still fighting under an assumed name.If you look close you can still see The Great Warrior staring back at you. Help support this warriors cause and buy handmade.

It is wire wrapped with antiqued copper wire, strung on a 26" black leather cord with a leather and bead accent.

I’m in the mood for some………

Dangles and this True Rings Green Fused Glass Necklace is just the ticket. The green glass has flecks of sterling silver foil for a tad extra sparkle. The three rings in the center really high light this necklace but don’t forget about the gems that hang from the sides of this sterling silver chain. Oh and did I mention the gorgeous sterling silver wire that wraps the centerpieces of glass. I love this piece and I hope you do too!

Wind of Change Fused Glass Necklace

I try to come up with different designs and concepts to use my fused glass pieces in. This Wind of Change Necklace has it all glass, color, metal, sterling silver and wire. I am also including the double wire necklace or cord for the completed look. Different color wire cords are also available in 2 to 4 strands in many different colors and lengths.

Luck of the Irish

Just in time for St Patricks Day my gorgeous Green Fused Glass four leaf clover. Who doesnt need a little luck?

Front Page of Etsy

Here's a screen shot of my very first debut on Etsy's front page.

Ready, Set, Fuse

I was feeling energetic and decided to load up the Kiln with each color of my new glass my husband bought me for Christmas. Did I mention it was a huge glass pack and came with an assortment of transparent and solid colors in fact 45/lbs of glass. I start cutting and get thru the solid colors and decide I will only do them on this trip. For each piece you normally use 3 pieces of glass.
The bottom piece – usually consisting of a solid so you cant see thru the piece or any color of your choosing
The Middle piece- is the decorative piece like dichroic glass or a transparent of any color. Remember this will sit on top of your bottom piece so see what looks best.
The top layer - most the time its clear to give depth and brilliance to your work but sometimes you can change it up a little and use what I call wispy glass or glasses with frit inside.
It’s really all up to you and it fun to experiment and try out new ideas and combinations.
On this trip I made 47 pieces each consisting of 3 layers so in all I cut 141 pieces of glass. Cleaned each piece one by one as I set them on the journey for there first firing. Here is picture of my loaded kiln.
