Well I haven't got many pics of new jewellery related stuff but I did go and see Pink on Saturday night so thought I would post a couple of pics from the concert. Considering how fast they were dancing around I got a couple of good pics!
New cabs update
Posted in on by
Just a quick update again to let you know that there have been a couple of new cabs added to my Flickr album.Seems I have been quite busy over the weekend so it might be a little bit until I get some more made.
On a totally unrelated note, I am going to see Pink Saturday night!! Woo!! Hopefully will have some pics to post up from her concert.
New cabs - updated Flickr
Posted in on by
Well just a quick post to let you all that I have uploaded a few photos of some new cabs on my Flickr album. This one to the left is one of my new ones but I have a plan for this one, muhahaha. Enjoy browsing. Still have a few more on the way...
Update - Storage and Cabs
Posted in on byWell I have been pretty limited with my time lately so I haven't got many cabs actually made but I do have four on standby ready to be fused so I should hopefully get some of them done this afternoon and tomorrow morning.
First up is a couple of cabs that I have made. The first one was my test to do my yin/yang cab but the sides didn't turn out as I wanted so I just changed it a little and added some little spots. I fused the spots down a little too far so they are only slightly rasied.
This cab was actually made from white glass and "frit" like glass I had from when some other glass broke and when I put it in the water it shattered. I kept the pieces just incase to see what I could do with it. The 'frit' was clear with little bits of clear blue through it so this cab actually has some depth to it, sort of layered effect. It was impossible to get a photo of it.
Now these are my new containers that I have bought for my frit! These are actually toothpick holders which are quite big so I can fit lots and lots of frit. I made the labels for each one with its details. The top bit is pretty funky because I can use it to pour the frit as much or as little as I want!
Hope to have some more photos over the next few days. Will update my flickr once I have taken more photos.

Yin Yang experiment
Posted in on byWell I have come up with a new idea today. It isn't really THAT original but I thought I might as well give it a go and see how it turns out in glass fusing. I wanted to try and create a similar cab to yin and yang but I won't be able to get the curves properly, at least not on purpose maybe by accident. I did a rough pic of what my 'before' piece of glass should look like.
However I am not sure if I should fuse the black and white base first and let it turn into a cab and then do the dots after that and fuse them in or if I should just do it in one big go. Hmmm decisions...decisions....
On another note I have found that the glue I used to stick my bails and that on my pieces doesn't seem to wanna stick. My cab just pulled off about 10minutes ago. For the earrings it'll probably be alright because I won't play with them as much as I do with the pendants. Looks like I may have to try another brand. Grr
