Desert Sand Pendants<\/p><\/div>\n

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<\/em>) that I fired into a mold.<\/p>\n

They are our Desert Sand<\/strong> design, the same motif we used in our Sushi<\/em> and Square<\/em> plates.<\/p>\n

This is a combination of glasses that cause a reaction in the kiln, creating the look of sandstone.<\/p>\n

I knew they reminded me of something more . . .<\/p>\n

\"Silver<\/a>

Dad’s Ring<\/p><\/div>\n

I recently came across this ring, again, that my Dad made in the 40\u2019s or 50\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Just some cool similarities and connections that complete my curious story.
\nI\u2019m loving stories.<\/p>\n
