Recently I had a sale on my Artfire account, a fused glass Lady in the Woods sculpture. Normally on my sculpture pieces whether it’s the Tree of Life, Green Man or Lady in the woods, I make them to order. Ironically the examples are all shades of green but they […]

A glass stringer is a straight tiny (1mm or 2mm) rods. I’ve never really used them before, because I prefer organic shapes and sizes of vitrigraph. However, I just watched a class (curious mondo) on how to use stringers and I must say I was inspired. I pulled out some […]
