I have been working with glass over ten years.  I really love playing with glass and seeing what I can make.  I use art glass in sheets, frit (ground up glass), powder and scrap.  I use dichroic mostly in jewelry for its pretty sparkle.  I flatten wine bottles and include texture or sandblasted designs on some of them.  I have been learning reverse enamel painting on glass from a video by Cheryl Chapman.  I love her style but am working on my own designs using her techniques.
