Miniature "Glass" Dale Chihuli Style

The other day when I was surfing the net,  I discovered Heather OCain's wonderful blog.  In Heather's post dated 27 September 2012, I found a tutorial for making  wonderful "glass" ornaments Chihuli style.
Years ago, Dale Chihuli held an exhibition of his stunning glass works within the ancient walls of the Tower of David in old Jerusalem.  It was an experience to remember.  The effect of colors and light was pure magic.
I felt like being transferred to another legendary world.



 

Heather's work  1:12 dollhouse miniature scale.



An original Chihuli



Another original Chihuli




Another Heather's ornament

In her blog there are more tutorials for very original, modern wall ornaments.  Also very impressive 1:1 jewelry.

Now I'm going to experiment and see what comes out.  Will show it in my next post.

A very warm welcome to new followers:
