Welcome to the new home of Glasskatz!

Glasskatz is my fused glass company in Austin, Texas, that specialized in a unique layered glass style of jewelry. In the past, we've participated at weekly local farmer's markets, Austin's Pecan Street Festival, 4th Avenue Street Fair in Tucson, and other events around the Austin area and southern United States. We were also regulars at the Peddler Shows and Sami Shows in Texas.

Layered Blue & Purple

Another one of my favorites...the blend from blue to purple came from two different slabs that ran together in the kiln—a happy accident.

Purple & Blue Slab

This is the slab that the purple and blue pendant came from, before firing with the clear cap of glass.

Swirl Donut

One of my favorite layered donut pendants.

Casting Glass

Here I was playing around with casting glass.

Slabs in the Kiln

Another batch of my layered glass. The aqua blue was one of the most popular batches I ever made.

Peddler Show, Lubbock

We participated in the Peddler Show in various Texas cities. This display shows off our art canvases and panels of pendants.

Blue Reactions

This piece of glass shows off some "reactions" between the French Vanilla glass, Spring Green, and Egyptian Blue. Everywhere that colors react, a dark line of copper oxides develops.

Slabs in the Kiln

Slabs of my complex glass are shown here after a 22-hour firing in the kiln.

Water Flowers Pendant

The "Water Flowers" series was gorgeous...a background of dichroic glass, and layered of vitrograph stems, with little white flowers. We had seen flowers underwater in Town Lake in Austin...the inspiration for this series.

Another One that Got Away

I even remember the customer that I sold this one too...I absolutely loved this piece...the small line of shimmy dichroic glass on the right really made the pendant.

Dichro Mix Donut

These popular donut pendants featured bits of pattern-etched dichroic and swirly glass.

Fiesta

I never could recreate this pendant. The layers of color and depth were gorgeous.

The One that Got Away

One of my very favorite pieces...a customer REALLY wanted it. I let her buy it, but I had to take a picture before letting it go. :-(

New Custom Packaging

I had these frosted pillow boxes custom made from recycled materials.

Dichroic Earrings

These earrings have just been cut on the tile saw. They'll be fired one more time to "fire-polish" the edges and make them smooth.

Pecan Street Festival

Bobby is here in the booth with panels of pendants, on a hot Spring day.

Austin Home Show

This is one of my earliest booths, at the Austin Home Show. I hadn't created custom packaging yet.

Relay for Life

I created this piece for the Relay for Life auction.

Enamel UT Tower

Experimenting with cloisonné enamel. This piece was destroyed when it went through the wash.
