What is flameworking? Flameworking is manipulating glass rods and tubes on a torch to produce solid and hollow work. Color is achieved by metal oxides and applied by rods. The Baby Bottle with dropper to the right is made with homemade, hand mixed color. My favorite, amber/purple, which varies from ambers to purples depending on flame characteristic and can be used accordingly.  The Yellow Bottle to the right was exhibited in the "Yellow" show at provincetown art association and museum. It was a beneficial response to new work.  The Ornament on the right, hand blown with a pulled point. Decorate the tree or simply hang in the kitchen window to catch the light. The saturated, transparent colors will bring a glow to your day. This piece was selected and featured in the article, "Silva makes Beauty with the Alchemy of Fire" in the Provincetown Banner, December 11, 2008.

 The Pineapple Bottle to the left was real fun to make. It is made up of two pieces. The leaves form the dropper of the bottle.  The Starfish on left was derived from a glass bubble, layered with color, then cut when molten to form this 5 pointed star.  |
