I Love Glass

Did I ever tell you I love glass? Any glass except windows I have to wash, that is.

This glass in the slide show comes from a number of sources: recycled bottles, fused Bullseye glass, scrap stained glass, and dichroic glass. Some is from bottles I smashed into shards and put in a rock tumbler to simulate beach glass. I have not made anything out of these babies yet; I am waiting for them to talk to me.

In the meantime, here are a few of my favorite glass and lampworking sites: Warm Glass, International Society of Glass Beadmakers, Paul Stankard Website, Wale Apparatus, Stephanie Sersich, Wet Canvas (lots more than glass on this site-you could spend days here) Bronwen Heilman, Kim Merriman and Sharon Peters.

To learn to make just about anything, check out Instructables and the Ready Made Magazine web site.

No matter what kind of art you’re into, you’re sure to find something that interests you on Wet Canvas.
