Title: Cream in Your Coffee
Artist: AJGlass
Image created by: AJGlass using an Epson Perfection 1200U scanner and Photoshop.
Medium: Glass
Type: Soft Glass, 104 Coefficient of Expansion (Moretti/Effetre, Vetrofond, Lausha)
Description: Glass Medallion Bead

Details: The dime provided is for scale of the smaller image. The smaller image is the opposite side of the same medallion. Clear dark topaz and dark ivory glasses were used to create this medallion which has been annealed in a kiln. This piece took 15 minutes to make and 18 hours to anneal. No image color correction was necessary.

Discussion: This medallion was relatively easy for me to make. The most difficult part was mixing the dark ivory glass into the dark topaz glass to create the stripes. It was fun pressing and flattening the molten glass between two graphite marvers to create the medallion shape. I think that the swirls of color mimic wonderfully the affect of pouring cream into coffee.

You are very good at coming up with the titles for these pieces. Do you make and sell these commercially?

Thank you.

I sell most of my work at local glass shows.

THESE are great. I love the mix of color in the "stones". These have a wide range of appeal and look very well made and professional. I love the smooth milky and sandy look to them. Of the three you wanted me to look at, I think this one is the best.

Not only do I like the colors and flow of the glass but I like how you composed the images together. Very compelling!

I love this one - looks yummy :) The different shades of color in the swirls really do have the effect of cream in coffee. Which makes me happy, as I am drinking my morning coffee while looking at this :coffeecup:
