Sealed glass orbs comprised of my signature pattern known as the cut n'flip. An incredibly technical process infusing 24 karat Gold &Silver inside the glass. Inspired by the wrap and rake an ancient technique that dates back to the Egyptians.

First a hot stringer is wrapped in a coil around a clear tube. Rapidly heating the surface of the glass I then drag a clear rod down the coil melting a series of chevrons, capturing the precious metals within. The precise combination of gold and silver produce a rainbow array of colors that are both transparent wile simultaneously reflective. Finally a dynamic twist I have orchestrating for nearly 28 years is to cut the tube open flat and then flip the glass inside out creating depth in the pattern resulting in a absolutely timeless work of Art.

My glass Cut n'flip Orbs make a wonderful gift to hang in windows gardens or just about anywhere you want to spice up the environment with a unique handcrafted work of art.

Hermetically sealed glass orbs capture the atmosphere from the studio forever sealing it within like a time capsule. This technique is incredibly tricky due to pressure differences in heating and sealing the vessel.
