The World of Glass Fusion continued...

Clicking on this will take you to a glass fusion org.

In the first photo you see some of the choices of dichroic glass. It is a very expensive glass to buy because of the production process. I will include a link for you to research the process if your are interested. Some of these designs almost seem holographic.


The photo's below are by one of my fellow classmates who love dichroic glass also. These have a black background that you can see when the pieces don't meet. The colors are so rich to the eye. I love the highly textured pieces, as well as, the gold. When one buys sample packs by the half pound you get what ever color or design they put in the pack. So sometimes it is what you want and other times not.



The examples below are another example of woven glass.




The photo below is Betsy W's work, one of three Betsy's in a small art class. Funny I went my whole life with never having another Betsy in my whole school, much less a small art class. Betsy is putting square sections together to meld in an almost abstract Joseph Albers' pattern for hanging in a window.


The three photo's below are the work and planning of my classmate and friend Monica. She has a detailed meticulous approach to her craft, and it shows beautifully in her work. Monica is from Peru and using many of the Incan designs in her art. I include a photograph of her planning pattern she creates to follow for the design. It shows the intricate careful planning she puts into her work. Artists work very differently in their planning and art processes. Some artists plan ahead and make models or drawings to follow, others research and think but work intuitively. I am the latter.
