I absolutely love this. Will be heading to the beach this fall the outer banks of North Carolina USA… would love to make this for a gift to bring along.. thank you for taking the time to teach all of us around the world.. another awesome video
11:50 yes they look like beautiful gemstones. 29:12 Interesting that you are not a French Impressionist, who would quickly and simply portray the seagulls AS THEY ARE PERCIEVED, instead of you laboriously portraying them AS WE KNOW them to be. Ten years ago I had read endless scholarly books about Impressionism, al basically regurgitating the same mantra like explanations, FINALLY, on my own, after I had put the matter to rest, suddenly I understood that the Impressionists portrayed the world as they perceived it, as affected by atmospheric conditions, not as they knew it to be. Anyhow, a beautiful creation you have here, many hours I am sure. The impression that I get is a vintage children's storybook illustration, quite quaint, nostalgic very nice work. thank you for sharing the CREATION of it. After carving wood all day until my aching thumb says "No more!" it is pleasant and relaxing to watch YOU create. 38:48 The little birdie turned out perfectly!
What are you carving at present, sounds interesting? Jill is also an accomplished wildlife artist who strives for realism. Her finished artwork in either pastels or airbrush will look like a photograph. She does not do impressionism too well as a result. This drive for realism tends to spill into there glass work too. Monet had very poor eyesight in his later years which most probably accounts for his style and approach during that period. He was painting what we was seeing.
@@FiredGlass Besides carving my customer's walking canes, I am approaching completion of 3 fat, deeply sculpted, approximately 6 inches in both dimensions carvings for a church table, a palm tree, a bearded 35ish aged man's face an a lion face. I'll snoop around your info and see if I can find an email or such to send you a few photos.. It is encouraging to learn of people like Jill who are dedicated to making the world a beautiful place. I try to see situations from the other person's point of view, and I can see how Jills pastoral, nature scenes would be especially attractive to those living and working in inner city buildings, I myself have always lived out in farmlands, forests, streams etc. so I actually experience what others may long for. I hope that you all have a merry Christmas!
@@rareandwonderfull in case you didn't find our email it is contact@firedglass.biz Your pieces sound fabulous. We were watching a programmed called the Repair Shop that airs on the BBC, it's on iPlayer at present. A chap brought in a carved walking stick made in India. It had a monkey's head with a mechansm that operated its ears and mouth. It was delightful piece of artistic wood carving and mechanical know how.
What a wonderful project! Makes me miss the beach so much! Do you post your firing schedules for this project? Would love to see it. Thanks for all you do , Kristy :)
Thanks for watching Kristy. It's a standard Tack fuse and slump firing schedule as per Warm Glass schedules which can be found here: www.warm-glass.co.uk/kiln-schedules-cms-74.htmlOh
@@FiredGlass me and my husband spent 3 days on the Coast of Washington in a little city called Ocean Shores. so i used your ideas to create my own seaside art. i did add some trees, because that is what they have. no room for boats or birds. i have it on a slow fire
All glass is fuseable, however it's important you know the COE rating of the glass and don't mix different COE ratings. Coefficient of Expansion (COE) is a measurement of the rate that glass will expand and contract when it is heated and cooled. Mixing different COE ratings will lead to shattering / cracking at some point in the future.

I have wrapped elastic bands around my nippers to stop the spring from falling out all the time.

@@FiredGlass me and my husband spent 3 days on the Coast of Washington in a little city called Ocean Shores. so i used your ideas to create my own seaside art. i did add some trees, because that is what they have. no room for boats or birds. i have it on a slow fire
That sounds wonderful. Making pieces that inspire memories are so special and have great longevity and sentiment.
@@FiredGlass it came out nice, however ill keep watching u. I love how organized u are. do u have any basic fire schedules ?
Glad to hear it came out nice. We use the firing schedules available on the WarmGlass website. Just google them and you can download them from there.
Does the glass all have to be bullseye. I have tons of glass not sure if its fuseable
