Fused glass art

Fused glass art is so beautiful to have around the house.  I love the way it feels.  It makes the ambience in the room just open up, filling it with amazing light and artistic quality.  I am in love with the piece that I got for my living room. 
 
 My husband like it as well, and we are thinking of putting up another piece in the dining room when we find the right one.


fused-glass-144.jpgHere’s an interesting concept.  I had this piece of fused glass that was “pretty cool”, in my opinion, but it had not sold.  I loved looking at it and was surprised that no one had purchased it.  so, I decided to transform it into a piece of wall art.  I added a piece of 12″ x 12″ brushed aluminum sheet to my “cool cat”and voila—here you have a great piece of wall art, ready to hang on your wall.

Fused Glass Wall Art

fused-glass-1341.jpgI have recently added a new category of fused glass wall art to my glass inventory.  This is fused glass art that has been mounted to  a brushed aluminum panel.  This particular piece of fused glass is entitled “Still Life, Vase with Flowers.”  This fused glass piece is 8″ x 12″ and then is mounted to a 12″ x 18″ aluminum panel.  


fused-glass-881.jpgHas anyone seen my glasses???  Here’s a unique gift idea for anyone who wears glasses (and who doesn’t?), whether for reading or driving or just regular old sunglasses.  This fused glass eyeglass dish is the perfect place to always put those glasses when not using them.  It’s great on the bedside table or for the bath and you will always be able to find them.  It makes a great gift–unusual and so affordable.  Check out my website for the entire collection of fused glass home decor items.


fused-glass-1201.jpgI have recently added a lot of new fused glass picture frames to my inventory in the website.  Please check these out.  When you have great photos from a special occasion, whether it’s a wedding or graduation or a vacation, don’t display them in a blah or generic frame.  A special photo deserves a distinctive frame-up.  Need particular colors for your frame to match your decor?  I can make it for you.  Most of these frames are decorated with dichroic glass to give them extra sparkle.

All the glass pieces have been cut to the precise size, then fired in a kiln up to 1465 degrees until all pieces fuse together to form one.  Finally, a metal backing with clear glass was added.  Now it is ready for your selected picture.


fused-glass-701.jpgThis distinctive plate is a beautiful and functional serving piece.  It would make a terrific wedding gift, brightening up any table.  It has cut strips of opalescent glass fused (kiln-fired) onto a clear base.  After the first firing, it was re-fired to slump into a mold, giving it the shape of a plate.  It is perfect for serving hors d’oeuvres at your next party.  It is dishwasher-safe and food-safe, containing no lead. 

The great thing about this fused glass home decor is that it also is a beautiful piece of art by itself, displayed on a stand.  It is guaranteed to get compliments.
