Desert Sand Fused Glass Pendants 2

Desert Sand Pendants

Last week I took some new pieces from the kiln, and one of my favorites were these pendants made from frit (small pieces of crushed glass) that I fired into a mold.

They are our Desert Sand design, the same motif we used in our Sushi and Square plates.

This is a combination of glasses that cause a reaction in the kiln, creating the look of sandstone.

I knew they reminded me of something more . . .

Dad’s Ring

I recently came across this ring, again, that my Dad made in the 40’s or 50’s and was struck by the similar pattern. The stone in the ring, I was always told, is petrified dinosaur bone. I love the swirls and colors of the setting.

Just some cool similarities and connections that complete my curious story.
I’m loving stories.
