After hanging out here for a few weeks, it obvious that you're noe "official" until you've posted a pix of your work. So I'll give it a try.
I am a mixed media craft artist. Although I still consider myself mainly a woodworker a few years ago I explored glass and metal to add interest to my work. The pix here are examples of my mixed media stuff. I make mostly lamps and boxes that are sold to high end craft galleries across the country.
The first shot is an accent lamp made of white oak with steam bend legs and a simple turned center support. The glass starts out as regular window glass that I fuse together while adding color and shape.
The second is a Torchiere lamp made of Ash with hammered copper edges. The glass is fused and bent to shape after color is added.
The third is a simple box made of New Guine Walnut with Wenge splines. I emboss the copper overlay into a pattern that I carve with a Dremel tool using a huge hyd press.
Thanks for looking.
