thanks!
They're pretty small, the openings in the mat are each 5"x7", so the actual glass pieces are roughly the size of an index card... The outer frame is 14"x17", I think.
Hi Kelly,
Really nice! What size kiln did you use? I have a small Hot Box and have always wondered if I could do tiles in it. The shelf is 6" x 6" -- not sure it would work. Anyway, your pieces are very interesting.

Carol, I did these in my 18" jen-ken... You may be able to do tiles in a hot box if you go REALLY slow, but I've never tried anything that big in my quickfire. I have a brand new jen-ken oval kiln sitting in my studio waiting for me to get all of my junk moved out there (husband finally kicked me and my stuff out of the "house") I wish I had a hot box to use with my bracelet kit- the 18" is not so easy to use if you value your eyebrows....
Have you thought of checking in your area for galleries that have an annual miniatures show? That might be a good stepping stone to a one-woman show. They'd probably jump at the chance to include something a little different from the usual.
I do have to laugh at the thought of a "one woman show"- it sounds like my daily life! My husband is a varsity football coach, so I'm 'widowed' until December with 3 little ones (sometimes 4), a neurotic dog, a load of shows, and my busy season is coming up....
some call it "football season", but around here it's "do it your darn self season"
