Well I have been collecting sea glass along the shores of Cape Breton. I handed some off to Bob MacDougall last week to paint and here are our results.
They will be at the ships on Tuesday.
This site will truly be a mystic fusion of 2 Cape Breton artists. Bob MacDougall an acrylic painter and Marg MacNeil a fused glass artist are putting their 2 crafts together to form original miniature works that will be made into wearable glass art. Stay tuned for great things to happen in the near future as we will be kicking off our business over the winter.

Well, have been busy, ships are arriving in numbers and business is good.
However did get these pieces fired and framed over the past week so thought I had better post.
Colours stayed and we are happy with it.
Again a few bubbles but nothing that distracts from the piece.
And third but not least my favourite and the one we tested with.
We put a varnish on this one to try and keep the layers of paint from moving and it worked. Burned off without any adverse affects.
Well we have some new pieces to show you. They are in the first stage and have not been fired yet
All of these pieces are approximately 4X4 in and we are still discussing display options
The first is an eagle
Over the next couple of days these will be fired and I will post as we progress.
Thanks to very kind glass artists on the warm glass board I belong to they have given use some ideas of mediums to use to make the painting process much easier.
The second item is a parrot,he is stunning
The third is a commission of a tiger. We did this smaller on a pendant and received a request to do not in jewellery format. So here it is.
And last but not least is a snow leopard that we are experimenting with. We have actually covered the bottom layers with varnish and then painted over. This one is a crap shoot, no idea what will happen. we have gotten better suggestions since then.
So at this point all I can say is stay tuned for the next steps
