I love creating new designs for fused glass and for my jewelry. I often have a vision for what I want to create although it can take a while before it comes to fruition, especially if I have to create multiple versions.
Below is one of the first of my stretch glass bracelets:
I'm quite happy with how this turned out. I wanted to create something using transparent glass without any existing jewelry findings. To make this, I first fused 1" glass bars which contained fiber paper for the holes. Next, I cut up the bars and tack fused the dichroic design layer to create large glass "beads." Then, I strung the beads together with Swarovski crystal in between so that it bends easier. The beads also add a nice design element. I like the chunkiness of how the bracelet turned out.
I've made 4 of these so far and have about 10 more that I'll be stringing in the next day or so. I'll post again once I've finished. Let me know what you think. I don't keep many of my jewelry items for myself but one of these may find its way into my possession :)
