I have added my blown glass eggs (from my colour bar slices) to a large birds nest sitting on a metal branch nest . It is about 24 inchs in wide and looks nice in the light. The reactive glass really plays with the light.

I love the nests!!!

There is a beautiful Osprey Nest just up the street from us that the Eagles and Osprey fight over BUT it is so beautiful and amazingly built. Thankyou for your kind words. This whole piece is made out of colour bar reactive slices.

Oh Havi, that means alot. Stay safe!! good friend. Les

Well when sad things happen and a gallery accidently has an accident and a piece is now in two pieces, good things can come out of it believe it or not. So now I am happier with the piece back together. The third pic is when it was in bits. P.S. Kevin will laugh at me because now it is one inch thick .

Not always easy to make repairs and have lines not show but adding gold and other colour bar pieces to the bottom while firing the sections together works well. So the back side is slightly different from the front. Les

Yeah! I figured out how to turn them.

How big is this piece Les? How do you display a piece this big?

I have forged out of steel large trees on a stand and the piece sits in between 5 hammered lovely metal trees. It is 30 inchs tall by 18 inchs wide by 1 inch thick. Les
I will get a pic in the stand by Thursday I hope.

such great work!

Well sometimes things just are not supposed to be used and now I had to spend hours cutting out the Dense White Rods out of lovely colour bar slices. Many Many of them. BUT hey!!! now I have the most wonderful Pods that will hang from pieces that I will intermingle with my twin sisters flameworking AS the rods are supposed to be used for flame working. Silly me to think I can use something that I KNOW should not be used. BUT I love the colour bar slices now just as much and will fill in places with frit and stringers and all sorts of things.

Here is what I should have read before I created my pattern bars. For flameworking not kiln forming. My fault.

Really, really nice work! Question, what happens if a gallery has an accident with your work? I was just picked up by a local one and am very curious.


Thank you very much for that link, I have about 60 lbs of BE rods that a retiring flamworker gave me. They are all bundled and marked with numbers. Now I know what they will look like !
Blessings to you-

Hi!!! congrats on being picked up by Gallery., READ the small print on your consignment agreement. I do have insurance also but a larger gallery will have insurance but some of the smaller ones will not. You have to have an agreement with each gallery on how they will deal with your work in case of theft or breakage. I do love working with rods and things but make sure they are the ones for kiln work. I learned the hard way. BUT hey!!! I SHOULD have known. Les

Thank you Leslie!
I've been curious since I saw a post on Facebook... Someone broke into a gallery and stole a bunch of this artists work. She posted photos of the missing items.

I'm glad he took the time to put numbers on the bundles of rods ..hope they all match with BE. He said they were all from them.
