Jake's Dichroic Glass Pendant
These some in red or blue and you can choose a silver or gold bail (the little thing that the necklace goes through). You can request a different color background.
Another great necklace of mine by Dominique Corner:
A very talented jewelry artist and ACD owner, Dominique Corner, is coming from Indiana to help me celebrate my 32nd birthday in a very special way. Dominique is helping me throw a jewelry party to raise money for Carolina ACD Rescue & Rebound, a cause near and dear to my heart. You can make your own necklaces, earrings and bracelets from the awesome assortment of beads Dom will bring or you can choose from pre-made items Dom will have already made.
One of the best things Dom is offering is dichroic glass pendants with a blue or red ACD head. Each piece is unique and handmade by Dom. I have a very special one she made me for Jake with his blue head on a black background. Dom is about to make another batch of ACD heads and wanted to know who might be interested in having one. They are $20 each and you can choose red or blue. You can choose either a silver or gold bail (the little loop of metal that allows you to slide your pendant onto a necklace). Dom needs to have a number beforehand so she knows how many to make. If you are interested in one of these, please e-mail me at our rescue e-mail carolinasrescue@yahoo.com and let me know.
Even if you can’t come to the jewelry fundraiser, you can purchase one of the ACD pendants or another piece of pre-made jewelry from Dom and have it mailed to you or simply donate money to the rescue. Dom will be donating a generous portion of the proceeds to Carolina ACD Rescue & Rebound. We’ll have hors d’oeuvres and a birthday cake. We haven’t decided on a place yet but it will be held in the afternoon on Saturday, February 9, 2008. Official invites will be coming out soon! Please contact me with any questions you may have.
Dom holds a Master of Fine Arts degree, and certificates in jewelry, metal smithing, and layout and design. She has also taken courses in glass fusion, lampworking, and wire wrapping, and has shown and placed in several galleries and juried art. Dichroic glass is a spin-off of the space industry. It is produced in a heated vacuum by coating glass with multiple metal oxide layers to create the desired color and effect. “Dichroic” means two colors. The unique, iridescent-like beauty of dichroic glass is due to the fact that it appears to be different colors when viewed from different angles or under different lighting conditions. In Dom’s studio, Spiritwalker Design, dichroic glass is carefully hand cut, combined, and then fused in a kiln. Each piece is a unique, one of a kind creation.
