Things you won't see at a show



I thought I would spend the next week or so posting pictures of pieces that are in my personal collection. These are the pieces that I don't/won't take to shows, I'm hoarding them all to myself.

The first is "Utah Skies" This is a blue and white cast oval dish. The blue bottle glass and clear window glass were hand ground, filtered and then mixed with a flux prior to being packed into a mold and fired. The surface is matte and the piece is opaque. I love it. Especially beautiful with light shining through.

Check back tomorrow for another hidden treasure.

I'm collecting bottle glass to use for tiles for my new kitchen. What do you use for flux to get the opaqueness in this bowl? I would like to be able to get some color mixtures similar to this with blues and greens for my tiles. Love your work with recycled glass!
