Hot Out of the Kiln

I have been spending a good deal of time working on some new pieces for the upcoming California Gift Show.It is a lot of work to prepare for a trade show, but I think it's going to be worth the work! While I was enameling away tonight I decided to take some photos of the process since I tend to get a lot of questions about what enamel is. 


A lot of people think that enamel is paint, but it is actually glass. There are different forms that it comes in, but I primarily use the powder form. Check out this photo of some pieces that have been sifted with powder enamel and are about to go into the kiln:
 

Now check out this photo of what they look like after they have been fired in my kiln!  

Check out that glow!  These babies are HOT!

These photos are of the back of the pieces. Just wait until you see what I did on the fronts of these with my new Picture Pattern! Check back soon for those photos :)

New Year, New Products

Pretty soon I will be rolling out some new products for the New Year and I am excited to share the process of creating something new with my wonderful readers!

For January, I am working on a new Picture Pendant Pattern (can't tell you what it is just yet!!) but I guarantee it will be quite a bit different from what is currently available and I am super excited about this one!

I will be rolling this design out at the California Gift Show, so if you are a store owner, please email me for details prior to the show and I can let you know what will be available!

Everyone else, please sign up for my Newsletter list because I will be sending out a special Preview available to subscribers only!  Subscribers will be able to view and purchase the new products before everyone else, PLUS you will get extra special pricing, so you can't beat that!

Designing a new piece takes a lot of time and especially a lot of trial and error!  This week I will post some pictures of the process that I go through in designing pieces so that you can catch a little glimpse into my studio. 

Happy New Year!

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy New Year!

2011 is going to be great, I can just feel it!  With the approaching California Gift Show, the new products we are about to release online and events that we are looking forward to participating in this year, I am already excited and it is only Day 2 of the year!
