Winter Garden-Bohemian Blue Glass Plates<\/p><\/div>\n

The kiln is humming with a new song! Glass, paint and texture come together in these little square accent plates. I love the simplicity of the design with depth and texture fused in deep. Can you see our\u00a0red desert interpreted in these colors? It must be running in our veins.<\/p>\n

Winter Garden-Blue Butterfly<\/p><\/div>\n

Copper accents the terracotta border while cobalt blue compliments the deep orange of the Winter Garden design. The geometric pattern that runs through the plates adds deep textural dimmension.<\/p>\n

The process is so fun and expressive my mind is whirling with ideas.<\/p>\n

\"Fused<\/a>

Sea Coral in Sunlight<\/p><\/div>\n

Here’s another\u00a0design using\u00a0transparent glass that bounces the light around with silver foil inclusions. This amber and sea green coral looks like sunlight in motion.<\/p>\n

Glass plates have so many possiblilties for interior design<\/h3>\n
\"Fused<\/a>

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

The Desert Sand Square plate is an intensive piece to create that shows how organic glass really is. The pebbles look exactly like the river bed we cross when we hike the canyon with our dogs on the weekends.<\/p>\n

You can use these\u00a0plates for jewelry dishes, key containers in the entryway, or change dishes on the nightstand. These expressive\u00a0plates would make great candy dishes on the coffee table, inviting guests to linger in this Season of Gathering<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Sandstone and Turquoise Wave Plate<\/p><\/div>\n

Ancient art takes on new whimsy in this Mimbre’ Quail fused glass plate a friend bought and shows in her desert home.<\/p>\n

Mimbre Quail Fused Glass Plate<\/p><\/div>\n

Display plates as art on the mantel or an accent shelf. Watch how the changing light of the day moves through or reflects off from the glass making each changing light a new view.<\/p>\n
