Glass Art from a Knitter's hand
Working with glass truly is a multi-sensory experience. Colors and textures can be vibrant or muted... combined in unusual ways to create a striking finished piece. My work tends to be mono-tone in color, combining shades that are subtle... or not. Varying textures and colors of glass morph into functional items that add elegance and style to your home or office.
Plus... what a stress reliever! The act and sound of breaking glass... So much fun!
I've spent many years working with glass... flat glass, hot glass, lampworked glass. I've spent more years knitting and working with fiber. My ultimate goal is to combine the two mediums, glass and knitting. I recently discovered knitting with wire and have begun creating jewelry combining the two... we'll see where that takes me...
Inspired by nature and my Jewish roots, the works I create as JiSTdesigns express a longing for a more peaceful time. Past or future, my Tree of Life motifs bring together the earth, the sky, the seasons, and the constant change that is our world. Abstract designs represent the chaos we all feel at certain moments within the boundaries of our given space. Knit inspired designs add a bit of whimsy and creative escapism.
Let me now what you think!
And please check out my other etsy shop, JiSTknits, full of my hand knit ponchos, cowls, fingerless gloves, lace shawls, wraps and patterns that I've created... plus a bit of deSTASH yarn... http://www.etsy.com/shop/JiSTknits
