My cousin is a gifted quilter. Listed here are just a few of her quilt blocks and the final one is an precise quilt. My aunts and grandmother use to make quilts. Quilting a tremendous artwork type that I consider is particular and delightful and I wished a one in every of her quilts badly for a very long time.

She was taking a look at my web site and stated she likes my fused glass paintings and would love a flower dish that I display printed. I instructed her she may have something she preferred – I’d commerce glass work for one in every of her small quilts. I’m so completely happy she agreed. That is the bowl she noticed that she wished.

I made her 2 further screen-printed display fused glass dishes. The primary one is screen-printed purple poppies on clear glass and is fairly massive. The second is purple poppies on white glass. I’m unsure which she’ll like finest, however they’re each lovely.

You possibly can’t use the display too many occasions, however I additionally made a small poppy dish for my exhibits. I believe it’s fairly good.

Listed here are the 2 dragonflies’ fused glass dishes I made. I made her two as a result of I wasn’t positive if she wished the iridized up or down, so I made each. They’re beautiful.

In the event you comply with me, after I make customized glass items, I usually make extra for my shops or exhibits. This was no exception. I made just a few extra textured dishes. First, I made small dishes to assist me determine which appears higher, the iridized up and iridized down, on dishes. I want the photographs present the feel higher, you may see it in individual. I like them each, however the secret’s you may’t use the iridized-up dishes for meals.

I made these three dishes, the primary one is cherry blossoms. These footage don’t come near the fantastic thing about these dishes. The primary one is evident iridized. The iridized is on the highest. The blue one is butterflies and never iridized. The butterflies are on the underside so it may be used for meals. Lastly this inexperienced is flowers with the iridized down.

She despatched me some footage, I’m so glad she preferred them.

I can’t wait to get my quilt from my cousin. She purchased particular materials only for me. I simply realize it’s going to be lovely. I’ll do one other put up when she sends it to me, quilts take for much longer than glass so it gained’t be completed for just a few months.
