Ruthie Holmes Glass

Some call it an omen when a picture that has been hanging on your wall for ages suddenly falls to the ground. Well I’m taking it as a sign that the cosmos is nudging me to make more glass, especially as after the fall the wooden frame broke but my glass did not 😎👍🏻

I call these my pic n mix fishes, I love them as they help me turn odd cuts of glass into something so colourful and unique as each one is different. A big win win for me as they make me smile 😃 always.

On a drizzle day like today it’s lovely to see my glass sun catchers enjoying themselves in the sunshine, reminding me of sunny days 😎 and ice lollies.

Love these stripey glass key rings, the only problem is they remind me too much of sweeties and ice pops even my little stripey boats when upside down get me wanting an ice cream 🍦 and cone.

Been playing today with some juicy colours making stripey boats and stripey keyrings so no wonder I’ve got a big grin on my face. Who doesn’t love playing with colour.

A little surprise for my daughter. I made her a frame out of my glass odds and ends. I love how the juicy sunshine colours pop out from the white Opal glass. I think she likes it 👍🏻❤️ handmade with ❤️

Play day in the studio!! I love play days ❤️ especially when I get to use up the left over pieces from cutting out my fishes. I try making it my mission to waste nothing and hope that from this I can make something new, in this case I’m hoping to make some glass hanging mobiles but also loving the patterns the shapes leave behind👍🏻

There’s something about a piece of blue transparent glass that I love. I feel the glorious tranquil hues of blues are perfectly captured in my fused glass fishes from the turquoise, caribbean, peacock and copper palettes. I can never get enough of the colour blue. Reminds me of the sea every time.

Been busy making some pic n mix fishes using up my recycled glass. I was wishing I was a fishy with all the rain we’ve been having down here in Cornwall. They certainly brighten my day, loving the pops of colours

Yipeeee!!! schools out and I am now back in my glass studio which seems like a lifetime ago. After a little spring clean I got stuck straight in with some of my recycled glass pic n mix sun catchers. A riot of colours that definitely tick my box. Here’s praying to the kiln gods that my kiln is happy too now that It’s back in action.

Its been forever since I last posted!!! Back in the studio for the first time this year after a long break. For my first kiln firing of the year my favourite fish are back on the menu. I love making the fish, they are time consuming but so worth it, I love both the turquoise and the Caribbean blue glass.
