Winners of the 2014 AAE Glass Contest Announced

AAE GLASS 2014 GLASS CONTEST Thank you to everyone who participated in this years contest. You had the judges pulling their hair out trying to narrow the winners down.  Thank you to our guest judges Patty Gray, Paul Tarlow and Kristine Crawley, artist/educator for taking the time to pick their favorites and provide commentary, it really helped. The imagination and creativeness expressed through this contest was mind blowing!  So much time and detail went into each piece and the support from each other, for each other, on the new AAE Glass Jewelry page is so encouraging. Thank you. A huge thank you goes out to Olympic Kilns who generously donated the grand prize of a New Vitrograph Kiln.  Olympic is the only kiln we use at AAE Glass.  Before you make a decision on purchasing a new kiln, be sure to contact Tanya Veit with any questions.  Olympic builds to suit your needs and when you buy from Tanya, you just might get a firing schedule or two from her!

Tanya's Tips Using CBS Dichroic Extract

New by CBS -  Dichroic Extract Powder

This new breakthrough in fused glass can be found at the lowest price at AAE Glass.

Ok, cool....But what do I do with it?

Hi everyone, Tanya here.  I thought I would make some quick notes on my experimentation thus far with CBS Dichroic Extract. Being an instructor for CBS and now a distributor, I plan to really put this stuff to the test. I am not much of a writer, so here are some quick points:

1. When you first get the jar, it will seem like a very small amount, but a little (and I mean a little!) goes a LONG way. At the price of the extract, this is not an element you just throw on a bunch of fused glass. You need to plan it out.

2. I have had excellent results using Klyr-fire as a medium and mixing it with the dichroic extract. I use the etching resist stickers available at AAEGlass.com and paint in the stickers (thus the butterfly pendant). But you need a very small amount so plan to paint a bunch of pendants at once in order not to waste a drop. The stickers are fantastic for this product.

3. Most examples on CBS show that you have to cap the powder. I did several test pieces without capping and most of it will stay stable. If you have too much on, it will not fuse all the way WITHOUT a clear cap. You can simply use a dry brush and brush it back into the jar. I really like the look of this. Rinse off your pendants and the remainder is very vibrant. Don't forget to brush the excess back off into the jar!!!!

 

4. I used the dichroic extract and mixed it with Glassline paints. Loved it. Gave the paint a nice sparkle. Great for water, sky, clouds etc. if you are doing a scenic piece. I did not cap the pieces that I mixed with paint.

 

5. I used the splinter extract and mixed it with blue paint and made "sparkling waters" in a scenic paint. LOOKED AWESOME. I used only a few shards so this powder will last for a long time with that kind of use.

 

6. I mixed a dash of powder with Bullseye Powder, nice sparkle.

 

7. Biggest question I am getting: Why not just use Mica?  Well, lots of reasons in my opinion. Mica just does not sparkle like dichroic - at all. Mica does not come in a rainbow of colors. Mica has to be capped generally. You can mix it with a medium and then not cap it but you lose most of it and its luster is gone when you wash it off. When capped, Mica generally spreads and lastly...I just love CBS dichroic and there is no substitute.

 

This is all from one day of experimentation. I have only just begun...now off to New York & Ohio for my teaching gigs. See you all real soon.

The Cape Coral Art Scene has Serious Energy

The Paradise Tiki Hut Bar & Grill hosted a unique event last night that really brought some great energy to the art community of Cape Coral, Florida.  The event was put together with the idea of bringing artists of all kinds together.  This was a LIVE art show.  Artists were painting and demonstrating their works live around the pool, fire dancers twirled balls of fire in unison with the bass spewing from the speakers and to top it off, there was live break dancing every hour.  These guys were serious dancers and could walk on their hands as freely as they could on their feet.  All proceeds from the event went to American Cancer Society and judging by the turn out, they did all right.  AAE Glass was proud to be a small part of this event as we raffled off some finished pieces and free beginner class certificates. We talked to many people who were looking for a creative outlet and we provide just that.
We believe that making art fun and accessible to everyone is as important as anything when promoting and the Tiki Hut did just that.  Everyone at the event, young and old, had a level of energy that we don't typically see on a normal night out.  They were enthralled at the talent on display whether it be on a canvas or the dance floor.  Standing ovations were a common occurrence last night and every artist truly deserved it.  We hope to see more of these types of events here in Cape Coral, Florida because the number of talented artists in this area is great.
