Dichroic Window Pendants-Fused Art Glass Jewelry

One of my favorite pendants is the whimsical window fused art glass pendants. Each one ends up being unique and there are infinite ways to incorporate color and texture.

I find working with glass magical. Just look at the setup to create a window art glass pendant. Not very inspiring......until....

....it comes out of the kiln fully fused and annealed. The dichroic glass is just amazing one it fuses. Dichroic glass is a NASA technology where metal oxides are put on glass.Depending which way you turn the glass you will capture different colors as a result of the process of creating dichroic glass (dichro literally means two colors).

dichroic fused glass pendantsGeorgia O' Keeffe just says it so eloquently.....it is exactly what my inner artistic voice was SHOUTING as I created these dichroic window pendants.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way.. things I had no words for.
