12/16/07 Arlene is really having a delightful time with learning this fusing and slumping of glass. There is quite a bit to it and Joe and Kath are grand about letting herpick their brain about it, plus what she has read. She finally was able to get a replacement thermocouple probe for her pyrometer and she is back in business with my experiments. This one is called " tulips " using 2 layers of glass and 2 different kinds of Frits. "tulip1" This one is called " starfish " using 3 layers of glass. I will be slumping this one into a plate when I get some free time. "starfish" Each one takes about 16 hours from start to finish. November 2007 Carl just finished this wonderful large stained glass panel. "The Cross and The Crown" a 22.4" in diameter work of art and it is truly magnificent. The pictures do not do it justice as it was hard to take a picture of it. Should anyone want something truly grand for their home it is for sale at $549.00.
November 7, 2007 Here is Charlotte Syndor of Louisville, KY who came to one of Arlene's Acrylic painting workshops and in 3 hours here is her finished project.
November 3, 2007 Here is Carl's latest piece, Celtic Cross III
November 1, 2007 Carl created this jewelry box from a design created by Arlene.
October 1, 2007 We now carry Dichronic Bevels. Here is Carl's newest work of art. "Snow Flake III©" is a 16" in diameter original work of art. The design was created by award winning artist Carl Correll who uses Dichroic Bevels and colored glass jewels . Dichroic Bevels are bevels with an iridescent coating that changes colour when viewed from different angles. ‘This is seen as one of the most exciting new decorative glass products to be introduced in a long while.’ Dichroic is a word used to describe certain rare crystals which have this chameleon-like ability. When fused onto glass bevels the effect is not only stunning, but also completely bewitching, as the shimmering colors appear to change as the viewer shifts position or passes by. As the sun hits it or as you move and view this piece the purple bevels are constantly changing from purple to blue to mauve to pink and the yellow bevels are changing from yellow to orange to magenta. This is an exciting art piece and can be hung in a window or hung from the ceiling where it will move in the wind. This is truly a "one of a kind" work of art.
Plus this 22" x 32" restored antique window with the same Dichroic bevels.
