Earring Bonanza

A whole bunch of new earrings soon to be listed for sale online. Freshwater pearls, natural turquoise stone, and Czech glass beads, handmade dichroic glass beads. Way cool. An earring bonanza!

Working the Kiln for some New Earrings

I'm working to build up some inventory for an art festival in May - "Art and Soul of Tulsa" in the Brady Arts district by the Local Art Matters people (more details on that later).

On these earrings, I measure and carve the glass in equal sizes for each pair, then place a pure silver wire in between the two layers of glass. After it is fused then the ear wires attach to that loop. In this method there is no need for special glass epoxy. This is also a special glass that does not burn off the dichroic layer with the heat of the silver wire.
