A little background…
OK, I jumped right into this blog thing with most readers not having a clue why I’m here. So here’s part of my story:
About 6 or 7 years ago, I discovered Ebay and, with a vengeance, started collection vintage glass beads. Those I made into new jewelry, necklaces, earrings, bracelets. And then I found dichroic pendant beads on Ebay and finally bought one, I still have it, it was from Ernie Phelps and quite expensive. So now I bought these beads, and re-sold them with earrings made from my bead stash. It didn’t take long for me to decide that I wanted more control over the colors and shapes, and 4 years ago I bought my first kiln, a Paragon Quick Fire that I still have and use almost daily. Dichroic glass cabochons were the next logical step, especially after I met a wire jewelry artist who liked my work. And so Glass By Gundula started.
I’ve never taken a class in fusing or wire-wrapping, but I have made extensive use of the information and tutorials that are available on the internet.
