Welcome to Colour Splash by Boné ~
home of fused glass with an attitude!
My fused glass items are formed from glass made in the USA- usually from Bullseye glass manufactured in Portland, Oregon.
The clock mechanisms (Made in the USA) are quartz requiring 1 AA battery. The clocks are either wall mount or table top, or both, in some cases. Several clocks are “pot melt”-colorful combinations of dripped and puddled melted glass.
Jewelry can also be “pot melt”, and can be wrapped in copper wire. I use a small torch to bend stringer and rod glass.
The bottles are first flattened in the kiln, then painted, and then re-fired in the kiln to fuse the paint permanently to the glass. All of my glasswork is washable and safe for serving food (except the clocks).
The glass beaded knives are positioned with double-backed 3M tape, and are easily removed for serving, or can remain attached when using the bottle as a wall decoration.
Fused glass is also referred to as “kiln formed” glass. I incorporate as much color into my glass creations as possible. I have derived my passion for intense color primarily from the art of Haiti and the Bahamas.
I try to make my glass creations not only colorful, but useful in the every day household.
