Evoking the Southwest with Fused Glass Tiles

We have this lovely turquoise blue glass that takes on any number of "looks" depending on the colors we pair it with. Here, as soon as I added the red and orange glass, I was back in the Southwest: in Albuequerque, searching the skies for the hot air balloons; in Santa Fe, wandering the rich art galleries; in Phoenix, delighting in each new cacti and succulent.

The picture is of a pendant I made that spurred me on to envision it as a wall tile. I had fun playing around with the possibilities: what would it look like surrounded by solid turquoise tiles? what about red or orange tiles?

Albers Pendants Posted on Etsy!

I just finished posting a selection of my Albers pendants on etsy, grouping them according to color. I have two groups posted right now--a cool group, featuring blues and greens with a tad of black thrown in, and a warm group with reds, yellows, and oranges.

Each pendant has a silver-plated bail epoxied onto the back so you can put it on your favorite chain. I have a 14" chain and a 16" chain that I wear depending on my neckline.

The pendants are just $18 each. Check them out on our etsy shop! http://www.etsy.com/shop/OmegaArtDesign
