Painting with Glass

Fusing an Ocean View


As a lover of beaches and time on the water, I wondered how I could create glass pieces with an ocean view. The answer was in my glass inventory. Instead of working with powdered glass, I found three sheets of glass that could be cut and fused to make the above tray which can also stand on its edge as decorative art. 
At the same time, I created the " Beach Bundle " .... coasters and plates that can be paired with the ocean view tray. 


I'm amazed at the variety of glass that's available. Careful glass selection opens the door to new creations using glass textures, streaks and patterns to paint a scene.
