Mixtures of Materials - Celie Fago Jewelry

There's so much variety in the jewelry
created by Celie Fago.
She works with both precious metal clay
and polymer clay and highlights
everything with metal work.

The best parts of her work
emerge whenever she creates
unique textures. By layering
multiple processes and multiple materials
 upon one another she constructs pieces
that push creative and technical boundaries.

This pendant provides an example of
her focus on texture.
And I love the delicate calligraphy.



Again, texture is the
predominant effect.





Mixing polymer with metal produces
subtle colorations with striking effect.



Her work evokes a marriage of superb
quality and creative design.
Every piece provides a broad
range of visual interest.
The polymer work is exceptional.
The metal clay work is exquisitely designed.
The overall effect is amazing and inspiring.

And one of the best things about her
artistic journey is that she is willing
to teach all she has learned.

Detailed Glass by Mercedes Brugh Jewelry

Mercedes Brugh creates fused glass jewelry
with tons of details.
Each piece is filled with realistic details because she
takes the time to include elaborate amounts of
details in each of her drawings which are
then etched into the glass.
She does this by using computer-aided design
taking 20 hours or more for each drawing.


She explains her processes as follows,
It all starts with my original drawing, which I create using Computer Aided Drawing. CAD is the compulsive's friend, allowing for screaming detail. . . Drawings take twenty or more 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.


Here is an example of her newest work.
Each color pops against the black background.




This pendant of an idyllic wooded scene shows the
rich detail she etches into each piece.



and this three-part pendant is
equally detailed



This artist's detailed glass art is
vibrant and brilliant.
There's a lot more to see
 at Mercedes Brugh's website.
