Check out this gorgeous glass fused cab I recently created.
The glass on the right is a chunk of lampwork glass that one of my lovely beadie friends, Nat, gave to me.
Nat is an amazingly talented lampwork artist based in Australia. She kindly gifted me with a wonderful selection of glass chunks - which I am guessing are the result of some of her unsuccessful beads she had made. I have been like a kid in a candy store fossicking through the bag of glass and imagining how beautiful the successful beads were that she made. She also gave me a huge collection of Moretti glass rod ends from which she creates her beads which were too short for her to use... too short = burnt fingers = OUCH!
I adored the chunk of glass before I fused it so I was soooo happy to see how the cab turned out.. an adorable little triangular cab. I'd love to take credit for the shape but it formed that shape all by itself.
Talk about a great way to use unwanted glass!
Watch this space for more cabs made from Nat's lovely glass.
