Red Tree Jackie Steimke Fused Glass 10" x 7" $150

Glass is seductive and challenging. It is not always cooperative, but that gives one an opportunity to be creative. The only limitations are your imagination and skill in working in this medium. I use all forms of glass: sheet glass, frit, stringers, and mosaic. I sometimes add inclusions of copper or silver sheeting and leaves. I also use glass paints and enamels.

Except for the white piece of glass, this piece is made entirely of glass powder. It has many layers of the powder and several firings to ensure coverage and give texture.

2020 has been a year of years. We have all been negatively affected by events; feelings of despair, helplessness, and hopelessness; and, for some of us, illness. This glass art is a product of my own feelings of all the above. I wanted to create something joyful in this time of little joy. It is made of dichroic glass and each piece is lovingly placed.
