Glass Art Mixed Media

Expand your creativity- make art for your home with your fused glass. I love mixing glass with my other loves of art, like paper and fabric, polymer clay, beads, charms and paint, it all makes me happy. Don’t be afraid to take that fused glass further than just the standard jewelry or plates, think outside the box. Have fun exploring new ways to use glass mixing it with your favorite art elements.

What you will need
your fused glass focal piece
fabric
deep frame
glue E600
paper
embellishments
scissors
imagination

This piece was made with a fused glass house that was the focal piece. I stared out with about 35-40 of these little houses all different sizes. I then took some handmade recycled paper that I made and some very cool star fabric from my scrap stash. I always lay the elements out for placement before I begin to glue them down. I glue the pieces with strong adhesive. E6000 works well with the fabric, paper and glass. I glue all the pieces to the base of the cardboard or wooden frame and trim it so it will fit properly back into the frame. It’s really up to your imagination.
How fun is that? Now you have a nice little piece of art for your house or apartment.

Remember to mix it up folks.

Yay for mixing materials. This has inspired me to try making something bigger than jewelry once again. Maybe I’ll try making something for my office… hmmm…
