I really love all your artwork!All of them are very different and no two are alike except the ones that you just colored differently XD It's hard to do an art like this and not repeat the same concepts too often.What is this type of artwork called though?I would like to see if I could find art classes to learn how to do this.It looks very fun!

Thanks so much. What I do is fused glass.

I just love making the wings and there is a higher demand for them in my shop. So I like to take pictures of each one since they are all unique in their coloring.

It's taken me over two years of near daily practice with my mom. I still have a lot to learn too.

Ah yes as artists we never stop learning.I myself draw using various medias though mostly pencil and have found that the most extroidinary feeling is that of the pride you feel once you recognise your own improvement. : )

Haha yea I'm interested in watercolor but I don't yet have the supplies for it.I have too many interests to really settle though.I play various instruments as well,I play piano, violin, and I've been told I'm a great singer, but I've taken an interest in harp,saxophone, and cello.So unfortunatly I really don't have much time to expand -.- But I'm creative so I'll find a way!

Haha you should it's a very versatile instrument and fun to play once you learn.I'm still taking lessons and have been playing for about 4 years now.I love composing my own music for it though,I think that's better then playing others music.

FusedElegance In reply to Amarate [2009-12-12 18:50:26 +0000 UTC]

Well I cut down my two sheets of glass or three depending on the piece. After I work on my design then I fire the layers, the bottom piece with my design and a top piece of clear glass, for about 8-9 hours in the kiln until it reaches 1500 degrees. Then if I need to I'll shape the piece again when its out of the kiln and refire it four around 6-7 hours.
