A diamond carved Tree pendant...

A diamond carved Abstract glass pendant...

Both of these pendants were created as holiday gifts from 1″ by 1″ full fused glass blanks. I then used a Dremel rotary tool and a few new diamond bits I found at ACE hardware to carve out the designs revealing the backing color through the french vanilla cap. For a final touch I fire polished both pieces along with a slump I had going into the kiln. I like the effect and I think with a little practice I could increase the complexity of design for some magnificent pieces!

What had started as an attempt to maximize kiln shelf use, has now turned into a lovely side project I’m falling quit head over heels with. I started assembling little pendant sized pieces of part sheets as a way to utilize the edge of my shelf while working on larger pieces. I figured if they turned out neat they would be good reference tiles or make x-mas presents. This particular piece caught my fancy so I looked into necklace findings and ordered a few pieces to play with. After wearing this piece around for a few days it’s become clear… these pendants are AWESOME! The feedback has been more than I ever expected and to meet the growing demand I have plans to expand the pendants into a few lines of styles and am working on launching an e-com section to the parent site.

If your not lucky enough to be on my present list, but would really like to get yout hands on one of these unique little art pieces, keep an eye on the glass page of the main site for updates or drop me an e-mail kirstan@dkgraham.com. The pendants range from Large 1″x2″ to Small 1″x1″ on either a choker or chain. All findings are silver plated as well as the necklaces. Since I’m just starting out, pricing is negotiable, and if your interested in carrying a number of pieces in your own shop let me know and I’d be interested in working out a volume arrangement.
