High res. Enamel decals on LAMPWORK

Posted by Sheila Morley on 5/12/2009

This is called using what I got! All of the people images were derived from my "boogie down bead" series from '06.
These are made from real enamel; digitally rendered imagery. A new process.

Process pictures Enamel decals

New to Lampworking.
The Scientist/Artist has developped a way to print these raw materials to produce photographic imagery and fuse it to glass or ceramic. I dabbled with it, and realized I could use it in the flame on my glass. The result to my discoveries is going to have a huge impact on my Art. And, I can imagine it having a huge impact on many Artist;s muse. Being able to capture detail like never before, this gives glass a whole new vocabulary to speak with. I am excited to see what we do.

This medium ROCKS! It has a built in binding agent that acts like a glue before it is fired. Applying to curved surfaces is not a problem. The mixture is perfected to have a beautiful gloss, and very little color distortion. The images can be left on the surface, or they can be encased in glass. After firing-This material is binded to the surface of the glass like a glove. No frit, or enamel is required to encourage fusion.
The sky=Limit.

Production beads with decals

For several years I have been designing and testing decals on Lampwork glass beads, and small lampwork sculptural pieces. It has come to my attention that I am not as interested in it now, as I was, and I am wondering who is going to take this to the next level? Maybe you have a suggestion, or a desire? I think there is a production bead maker out there that could really do something with decals and lampwork glass beads. I'll still use decals, and make art, I just think I am neglecting the possibilities with this fantastic medium. Most of these beads were made in Spring 2010 -enjoy!
