It’s that time of year again…Halloween, Thanksgiving, then the big one..Christmas. I am always looking for something new and interesting to do or create, just to keep the juices flowing.
Recently I have been playing around with my kiln and doing some experiments. I have a fabulous artist, Marylynn Holland that makes these beautiful dishes with melted glass in them, not to mention her monks and other ceramics. She has been a mentor to me in this new world of wet clay. I have been wanting to make some ornaments and thought the melted glass thing looks so sparkly and Christmasy that I decided to put myself to the test.
I crushed up wine bottles and found some other recycled glass and just started putting it in little forms I made and voila! Ornaments! Now there has been quite a lot of trial and error, but patience my friends. I do this in between the intense work of portrait work I do. Sometimes I just need a break from all that detail. Here are a few samples of what I am creating. ….
Two kinds of glaze and melted glass made this Hibiscus.
Humhumu...what?? Blue vodka bottle and green wine bottle melting. Cool way to recycle, but wear your safety glasses.
Once he is complete I will pack him up ( he is made out of oil based clay) and send him to the foundry to be cast in bronze. A process that takes up to 3 months after I send it. This is a wonderful way to capture the likeness of your child or grandchildren and have it passed down through the family. Go to turnbullstudios.org and see Christine’s work.
