Shards

Posted on by curioussteph

When I hear the word shards, glass comes to mind.  I’ve done some glasswork over the years, mostly making glass beads in the torch. It’s fun, playing with fire and color.  I’ve also done a little glass blowing, which I discovered to be quite consuming of both time and money in terms of developing technique and the complex furnaces and materials required. In addition, I’ve done some fusing, melting glass pieces together in the kiln.  Also fun, but I enjoy the direct fire interaction of beadmaking the most

In honor of today’s Ragtag prompt of shard, I offer this photo of a pendant I made using some small bits of dichroic glass.pendant

June 2017: I started writing Curioussteph.com with this: By day, I'm a retired family physician turned body-oriented psychotherapist. I garden, travel, am owned by 2 elderly cats, figure skate and am training for my first triathlon. April 2020: Three years later, the two elderly cats have crossed the rainbow bridge, and we now have an 11 year old adoptee, Ziggy. I'm done with triathlon and skating for the time being, and I am still physically active, running, biking and walking. It's now the time of the coronavirus, which is affecting us all.
