Technique

This jewelry is tempered glass. Colors will not fade over time.

It all starts with my original drawing, which I create using Computer Aided Drawing. Each drawing includes my "MB" hallmark.

Drawings take from twenty to eighty hours to perfect. Once I'm satisfied with the drawing, I etch the drawing into the metallic coating on dichroic glass.

Then I cut other pieces of sheet glass and stack the pieces like a sandwich. I carefully fuse them at 1450°F to achieve a nice melt without turning the cut shapes into blobs. Finally, the schedule I use to cool the glass tempers it.

Every piece fuses in its own way, making every single piece of Frozen Music unique!
