Why am I CHAOTIC RAINBOW?

 

CHAOTIC?
  • lacking a visible order or organization
    completely unordered and unpredictable and confusing
  • RAINBOW
  • Rainbows are optical and meteorological phenomena that cause a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere.
     
     
    ..........THAT is my glass!

    What Exactly Is Dichroic Glass?

     

    `Dichroic` (Di-kro-ick) means two colours, and the glass seems to be different colours when looked at from different angles or in varying degrees of light.

    Its made by adding a thin layer of metallic oxides, which gives it a transmitted colour ( where the light goes through the glass) and a different reflective colour. ( where light bounces off the glass)
    NASA used the properties of this glass on the windows of space vehicles, and now glass artists can use this wonderful, magical medium for you to wear as delicious jewellery - amazing!

    SOME LOVELY THINGS YOU`VE SAID......THANK YOU! X

    "The cufflinks arrived a couple of days ago, and I'm very happy with them indeed! They're really lovely. Since you ask why I bought so many, I'm getting married in August and they're presents for the fathers, best man, ushers and so on. I'm sure they'll be happy with them!"
    Richard, Cambridge

    "My order arrived safely today thank you.
    I have to say that I am even more impressed than I was with the photo of the jewellery - really stunning.
    I had struggled to find a special / unique present that wasn't too expensive for a friends birthday. Now that it has arrived I think I may have problems parting with it! I'm confident she will love it too and no doubt I will be back shopping for Christmas. Also thank you for the lovely little boggle eyed beauty (my daughter has made that her own)."

    Eileen, Buckinghamshire

    "Every time I wear it, people comment on how beautiful it is.."
    Jackie, Wiltshire.

    "I received it on Saturday morning, its gorgeous..."

    Andrea, Liverpool.

    " Its lovely, I`ll be back for more!"
    Jenny, Wiltshire.

    "The colours were so lovely, I just had to have another one!"
    Stephanie, Perthshire & Kinross.
    (I`d like to say a big "Thank you!" to Stephanie in particular, who is my best customer, returning time after time - I do appreciate it.)

    "Thanks for sending me the necklace - it arrived on Friday. It's absolutely gorgeous!"
    Laura, Buckinghamshire

    "...arrived safe and sound...I've worn it twice, and both times received numerous compliments. I like it so much, I was planning on coming back for one of the white and pink colored pendants I saw earlier. Thank you for a unique, interesting and one-of-a-kind piece. I also told the girls where I do my grocery shopping about you, so maybe you'll see some business come in from Mystic, CT as well."
    Irene, Connecticut, USA

    "Thank you so much. The two pendants arrived safely and they are absolutely beautiful. I have no doubt they will be much treasured by both my friends."
    Gill, Taunton, Somerset

    Hillary - thank you! It arrived safely on Saturday morning - great service. It's lovely, it's for a friend's 40th birthday - she'll love it. I'll be back visiting your site before too long I think - there's some really lovely and unusual stuff there.
    Debbie, Aberdeen

    I'm pleased to know I have a one-off creation - the sunflower pendant is lovely. All glasswork seems magical to me and the way you combine colours and form is amazing. I wasn't too sure how good a match the earrings would be - so perhaps that was more of a happy accident than a good eye! I love the unusual results and look forward to wearing the pieces many many times.
    Brenda, Warwickshire

    "Thanks for prompt delivery. Your jewellery is fabulous."
    Ray, Middlesex

    "Hillary,Both orders received safely and the items are fab….
    The first order was for Christmas presents but I liked them too much so they are for me!"

    Your website is on my favourites list so will be back.
