Glass Inserts for Doors

LLangollen

Kitchen cabinet doors created for a client in Llangollen.  The brief was to create doors with a design to match the clients tiles.  The majority of the tiles were a terrocota (ish) colour, with one in four in green.  Interspersed amongst them were patterned tiles with leafs on  dark reddish/terracotta/golden/pink backgrounds.

The client required the doors to have a textured finish, with colours matching her tiles using some iridescent and dichroic glass made into leaves which matched the leaves on the patterned tiles.

The finished results are shown below.  Please click on the thumbnails for a closer view.

I  cut the leaves, which match the pattern of the leaves in the tiles, using two colours of iridescent green glass.  The small triangles at the top of each door arch were a problem so, using an opaque green glass, which matched the green tiles perfectly, I cut two arches, which were placed on the top end of a clear glass base.  I cut arches, rather than small triangles because they looked better when the doors were opened.

Placing the leaves onto the clear glass, I then smashed up yellow and reddish glass, which again, matched the background colours of the patterned tiles.  Once the smashed up glass was sprinkled around the leaves, blending in the two different colours, I sprinkled broken bits of dichroic glass amongst the reddish brown and yellow glass.  A green dichroic that matched the green of the arch and a pink, which matched the pink background on one of the patterned tiles.

The finished pieces were partially tack fuse fired on fibreboard to give them texture.

The client was delighted with her kitchen 'fused glass art'.
