JAMdrops

Hello, what are Mastodon users called? Tuskers?

I am an artist from Chicago metro. I create woven glass and reflective bead mosaics on salvaged or preowned items. I post about art, science, innovation, environmental issues, and my art projects. Pleased to meet you!

@JAMdrops Usually we're called by our names? ;) Hi, I'm Annie. Your art is beautiful! Is it fused? I'm very curious about your process; I don't know what "woven glass" means, but I like it.

@anne That should read “woven glass and reflective beads” Hi, I’m Julie. It’s nice to meet you, Annie!

@anne @JAMdrops I would like more information on what weaving glass means. I know how to cut glass, melt glass, and weave strings of beads, but none of that seems to fit these images.

@Lacewindu @anne my apologies for lack of clarity this is beadweaving glass beads over a clear glass vase.

@JAMdrops @anne I see it now! Thank you! So is there cord/string involved?
Show threadJAMdropsDec 14, 2022
@Lacewindu @anne Sagan was mostly woven with embroidery floss. So Long is a simple bead mosaic. The only weaving is in the stars at the top.
