Another John Prine Pendant by Charlene Stevenson. This one is called BHDW;
Broken Hearts and Dirty Windows taken from the John Prine song, Souvenirs.
She makes them with different colored hearts - pink, purple and different shades for the windows.
Charlene says her glass pendants are 'pretty simple'. She uses fusible glass so you can stack it and fire it. The glass will heat up and expand, fuse together. Two kilns - one large, one small for the firing process. The glass heats up to 1390 degrees. She uses several tools for her projects, a glass cutter with a carbide wheel, a saw with a round saw blade to 'break' in the heart. She stacks up the glass, puts it in her programmed kiln and walks away until the next day. Upon completion she polishes it up and places a bale on it.
Beautiful pendants they are. Charlene has quite a good imagination and has made several pendants from the words of John Prine songs. I wear mine Prine proudly.
Char does real nice work.
