As a member of The Artisan Group, I have been chosen to make
100 items to be included in the SWAG bag, in addition to a display of my
creations at the GPK Gifting Lounge.
Hmmm, as one who often chooses the road less traveled, it was difficult
to choose a design which is contemporary yet represents who I am as a glass
artist.
Well, firstly I knew that it would be brightly colored, yet
not over powering. Not fuchsia or teal,
I had to consider what colors would Hollywood love to see? I pondered and decided to play it safe with
blues, purples and silver. Hunting down
vibrantly, colored sheets of glass with a subtle pattern took days.
Next the design.
Following my most popular Tree of Life collection seemed like a
"safe" and suitable choice.
"Hmmm," I thought, "This is this too ordinary for
me. Let me try a circular pendant with a
Tree of Life. That's it!
Dichroic glass, a functioning kiln, new glass cutters, a
dremel, bails and glue were all on hand. YES!
I was ready to create!
