I've been thinking about the next upcoming event on our seasonal calander. Next stop Mothering Sunday. This year Mother's Day is on the 10th of March 2013.
Inspired by trends for 2013 in basic patter-nation and adornment of home ware, I have been exploring the impact of the heart. A simple heart is distinct, recognisable and relate-able. Therefore in designing my coasters I have used the form of the heart as a focus and utilised it within my fused glass.
These Coasters measure 10cmx 10cm, made of opalescent purple glass and hand cut copper hearts.
These Coasters measure 10cmx 10cm, made of transparent glass and hand cut copper hearts.
The kilnforming process traps the copper hearts between two layers of glass.
If I choose to then decorate the item with handwritten text, enamel is hand painted on the already fired glass and the text is burnt in s separate firing onto the coaster surface.
On this day many gifts can be given like
flowers & chocolates, but why not make your Mother's Day unique,
give her something handmade and long-lasting.
