Fused Glass & Bead Artist Karen Moyer, Aurora Oregon In contrast to most glass
art, my work emphasizes opacity rather than transparency. I overlay a white
or light colored glass with a colored transparent piece. This creates depth
while at the same time stopping the eye and focusing it on the center of
interest-the flower. I use a layered fusing process. I fire each piece
twice, adding one l layer to the original each time. Each layer is fired at
successively l lower temperatures to control the rate of melting. This
creates a more three-dimensional look. The last firing usually includes some
glass pieces I make at the torch. These include flower centers, stamen and
other fine details. |
