Fused glass is one of my favourite things to make. Its not a very practical hobby - you need a pretty big and expensive kiln for starters (I do a class) - but it is such a fun thing to do.
I have been doing a fused glass class for about a year and a half now and I love it. Playing around with light and colours is soooo much fun.
It does mean however that I now have loads of pieces of fused glass hanging around my (fairly small) flat!
This is only a very small proportion of what I have made!!
There are also lots of flat pieces which I made when I was starting out to practice. They are very pretty but not very useful so I'm not sure what to do with them!
One thing I have made quite a lot of is jewellery. Its really good for giving as presents and, luckily, it doesn't take up too much space!!
I started stockpiling fused glass pieces, in particular lots of jewellery, a while ago with the intention of opening a folksy shop. Now I'm not so sure - I already have a folksy shop selling some of my sewn pieces and I'm not sure its not more bother than its worth - any thoughts? I think I might write a separate post about this soon......!
I was thinking I might look into doing a craft fair instead........
At the moment it is just nice to have all these pretty, sparkly things around my house! Not to mention a necklace to go with every outfit!
Unfortunately I won't be doing the class again after Christmas - its an expensive class and I think I need some time off to get my inspiration back to make the most of the classes. Plus I need to find someway of getting rid of all the glass pieces I have already made!
On the off chance that anyone reading this is interested in buying any of these pieces (or even fancies doing a swap?) then please feel free to get in touch. But mainly I just hope you have enjoyed looking at some of these sparkly things I have hanging round my house!
Have a lovely week xxx
PS. Sorry for the sporadic posting recently - have been having a very busy time! But I have also been working on lots of presents and decorations for Christmas so should have lots of exciting things to share with you soon!

Hi there! Thanks for your comment on my blog! Wow your glass work is just amazing! Those pendants are stunning, I particularly like the purple one and the one that's sort of gold and purple. I'm sure it'd sell really well in a folksy shop! Thanks for sharing! Laura x
Gorgeous, simply gorgeous!

It's fabulous, you're so talented! I'd love buy some jewellery off you but I'm skint. I do think it would do well on Folksy though as it is something different - you could even apply to Not on the High street with something of that quality
Ooooo sell them!!! They are just beautiful, a craft fayre would be a great place and I think they would sell on folksy or etsy too.
If you want to swap something I'd be happy to do that, I love the third from the bottom one with the rainbow look or the last one, gorgeous colour. If your interested let me know what you'd like in return :-)
