Star fish

This is a new bead I have been playing with this summer since my gallery is on the Oregon coast people like sea creatures as a nice memento of their visit.

Tips...for a more realistic look I put dots of ivory in a star shape flatten them then lay my glass on top.

Working on this blog

Welcome to my first blog it's taken me some time to get it together, but we all have to start somewhere. I hope to share my 16 year journey in the glass art world with all who are interested in learning and perhaps trading a few tips and tricks. The picture at left is of my earlier work your standard small glass beads over the years I have graduated to large abstract focals which I much prefer to create.
