Patty Grays technique to combine color and hue through layers of glass is “leading edge” in the kiln formed glass community. She is a pioneer of innovation and technique. I thoroughly enjoyed attending one of her classes this summer and this is one of the pieces I created after the class. This is an 8″ disk that is about 3/8 ” thick. It started with 1″ squares of alternating clear and orange. (I thought it was red!). Those squares were covered with alternating 1/2″ x 2″ rectangles of clear, blue and green transparent glass. The result – a happy accident!

Flowers, flowers and more flowers
Time to get back on the blog
Good intentions have not produced results! I can’t believe it has been over a year sine I made an an entry on this site. And, I thought retirement would give me more time to dedicate to glass. Well the glass has been getting a lot of attention – I just haven’t posted. So, I am committing to making at least two entires a week just to get me started. Here is a piece I made during an Ann Nye Class in Sept 2013. This is a study on botanicals. Several techniques were taught and I wanted to use each technique in the final project. What started as a smattering of different flowers, leaves and techniques turned out kind of cool as a grouping. Ann posted it on her site and I was thrilled!
