Southwest Custom Glass Tiles

My husband and I have friends that live in Phoenix, AZ, and boy does it feel good to visit there in February. When one lives in Seattle, a trip to the desert in the middle of winter is always welcome!

It was after visiting there this past February that I came home and made these tiles. I love the cool turquoise against the hot red and orange--it reminds me of the red Phoenix soil against the crystal clear sky.

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?
