Ocean Set 3 – The base is an opaque teal glass, the middle layer is a purple transparent glass with an iridescent surface that has lots of blue and purple shimmer, and the strap is a purple ripple dichroic glass.

Ocean Set 4 – The base is an iridescent royal blue glass that shimmers purple and gold, the middle layer is a dark purple iridescent glass which darkens considerably once on top of the blue, and the strap is a fun rainbow dichroic glass.

Sunset Set 5 – The base is a light pink opaque glass, the middle layer is a dichroic glass that has an awesome scratchy texture once it’s fired, and the strap has a fun pink dichroic glass with the FOXY Swirls pattern etched onto it.

Opposites Set 6 – The base is a light purple opaque glass, the middle layer is a shimmery purple/blue iridescent glass, and the strap is a teal dichroic glass with a bubbles pattern on it.

FOXY Facelift…Part 2!

The FOXY makeover continues with a revamping of four more FOXY Rectangle designs…

FOXY Facelift - Part 2!

Forest Set 6 always had a lovely transparent dark forest green backdrop for a rainbow dichroic pattern with angular crossing lines. Now it has a dramatic strap with dark purple glass that has a shimmery purple/blue iridescent coating. I think it’s new structure and symmetry are highly attractive!

Sunset Set 6 retains its glowing red iridescent glass, but now it has a more whimsical appeal with a rainbow dichroic pattern that has squiggly lines in teals, purples, blues, and pinks. Fun!

Opposites Set 4 has an all new dichroic strap that catches the eye with its bold color and aztec pattern, a perfect compliment for the transparent teal base and icy salmon ripple dichroic centerpiece.

Opposites Set 5 was always an appealing combination to me, but it has lost its swagger along the way. So I turned it upside down and put a strong bold iridescent purple sheen in the middle to offset the sizzling lime green, and topped it off with a multicolored dichroic strap!

Hope you enjoyed this FOXY Facelift as much as I have!

FOXY Facelift…!

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Change is a necessary part of life…and in the spirit of change I’ve been giving FOXY Rectangles a makeover. The FOXY Rectangle designs have been a solid line since the business began, but there were a few cobwebs that needed cleaning. After getting halfway through the FOXY facelift for the Rectangles, I have revamped three of the existing designs which were pretty to begin with, but could now use a little extra umph!

FOXY Facelift...Part 1

FOXY Facelift...Part 1

FOXY Rectangle – Forest 1 is essentially the same as it was: it is using the warm brown opaque glass on the bottom and the lovely bronze glass in the middle. But now…it’s incorporating the new FOXY swirls pattern, designed by Kerri Lawnsby Studio, for the strap! I think the new FOXY swirls are much more compelling visually than the old swirl pattern this design used. Hope you like it too!

FOXY Rectangle – Opposites 2 is also very similar, except that now the design uses a wine-colored transparent glass on the bottom which provides a rich canvas for the fun rainbow colored balloons pattern that livens up the middle layer. The dichroic strap will be a range of colors from green to teal to blue…whatever strikes my fancy that day and goes with the balloons pattern in the specific piece!

FOXY Rectangle – Opposites 1 has always been a favorite design of mine, but somehow along the way it’s fallen out of tune…so I’m making it sing all new melodies now with the FOXY swirls pattern in the middle layer and the new light blue ripple strap! Hopefully in the photography you can now see that the surface of the orange transparent base glass is iridescent, reflecting all sorts of happy teals, purples, golds, and so on…depending on the slice of glass in your piece!

Apologies for my photography, but come see these changes in person and I think you’ll agree it’s the beginning to a very FOXY facelift for the Rectangle series!
