Sold the ACEO from the group below.


This piece of green and streaky glass looked like a giant medusa floating in the sea. So what else could I do but I make but an ACEO with a 3D glass and wire baby jelly fish in front? To my delight, this sold yesterday. This is a nice art form.

Last of the ACEO's


I swear these are the last I will make for a while- well except for the ones on the soldering table board.

ACEO's Wow


Wow, from something I'd never heard of to a sale in 2 days! wow . And it was just a trifle. I joined the Etsy creative glass guild challenge with the moon light and tree one below, then thought some more and made a couple with little fish glued on to a piece of glass. Really, it's a trifle. Okay, I did ground down a clear iridescent blob, add wire tendrils and make a jellyfish to go with it. I soldered the wires to the edges of the frame and I glued the molded glass fish and the blob on with ultraviolet glue.

It did turn out rather nice . So surprise surprise , i got a sale!

The ACEO Challenge


So I belong to the Creative Glass Guild of Etsy, a friendly group that meets online to promote glass in general. There are lots of great jewlers and fused glass artists on it, but not too may stained glass mavens like yours truly. For August, they have challenged us to create ACEO, those collectible mini cards of original art for we who love the stuff, but cannot afford large pieces.
I came up with this mini evening landscape . The glass is a wonderful opaque steel blue and white combo, the moon in the upper corner is iridized and the wire work tree is silvered . Not too bad for a few hours work. Hope the group likes it. http://www.cgge.org/challenge.aspx
