| I
created FUNK SISTER GALLERY so I could share my love of fused and stained
glass with you and those you care for. My
passion for glass and working with my hands allows me to produce these
unique creations.
Fused glass also known as warm glass is an exciting process of hand
cutting and arranging with intention individual pieces of glass that
get fired in a kiln. Dichroic glass is used in all of my jewelry and
a lot of my other pieces as well. Dichroic glass has a vivid metallic
look surface and is intense and captivating. When it is fired the colors
fuse together and the results are nothing short of magical.
The
process for stained glass work is a bit different from fused glass.
Individual pieces of glass are hand cut as well but the process doesn't
stop there. Grinding them to a smooth finish allows them to be copper
foiled in preparation for soldering.
There
is great joy in creating my own patterns for stained glass work and
this enables clients to work directly with me to choose the perfect
piece by customizing color, size or design.
I hope you enjoy these expressions as much as I enjoy creating them.
Blessings
and Light,
