Frit "Ball" Glass Plate

Frit is broken up glass which is used in fusing for decoration. I took large size frit & fused it to "round" to form these frit "balls".  A base of pale ivory glass is full fused & annealed for proper strengthening. Then the "balls" are placed & the piece is fused again (tack fuse) at a lower temperature so the frit is permanently attached to the plate. Then as a last step the plate is slump fused to get the gentle sloping shape!  Like all my glasswork, this 6" plate is food safe, and while you could put it in the dishwasher, I would hand wash.

Green Iridescent Bowl

A 7 1/2" fluted bowl in green iridescent glass, which is embellished with black frit glass, stringers and dichroic frit pieces.  You have to see this in the light to totally appreciate the way the colors dazzle.

Gecko Plate

A dichroic glass gecko "climbs" out of the "grass" in this 6" plate, with an amber glass base.  Use this for snacks or hang it on a wall!   It's so much fun!

"Vienna" Glass Bowl

Based on the ancient glass styles in Vienna, this 9" fluted glass bowl sparkles with color!  Hand cut shapes are fused on the clear base to give it a party feeling.
