New Work

Superceded by JK New Work

Running a website leaves precious little time for making art, but I did get a chance to finish some pieces this fall, which I've decided to post here. All original designs, signed by Judith Kiriazis, copyright 2005.

From my new Water Collection: These pieces are inspired by my love for water--creeks, rivers, marshes, lakes, oceans, even swimming pools--I love them all. I worked to re-create the beauty, transparency, movement, and mystery of water--in dichroic glass. In some pieces, I developed my own technique of kiln-casting the glass to look like shimmering water. In others, I cast sea creatures in either glass or metal. All of these are meant to celebrate Nature's most beautiful realm.

 

 

3Water Drop Necklace

All your precious memories of water, distilled into a single, shimmering drop.

This piece is made from multiple layers of dichroic glass, cast to look like water. The glass is compression-set (my own technique) into a flowing frame of polished sterling silver, suspended from an 18" sterling diamond-cut snake chain. A large, natural-color freshwater pearl is suspended from the drop. Designed and hand made by Judith Kiriazis ©2005.

pendant 2-1/2" long and 1-1/4" wide

Sea Treasures Necklace4

Walks along the beach, precious time near the ocean, all captured here.

A square of heavy silver encases a  three-dimensional seashell of multi-layered dichroic glass, kiln-cast from a real shell. The glass is held in place by my own compression process. Three natural-color pink freshwater pearls complete the tableau, which is suspended from a substantial 20" sterling chain. A one-of-a-kind creation by Judith Kiriazis ©2005.

3Kelp Forest Pin

This sterling piece is cast from an actual piece of kelp, and is set with a 14kt yellow gold starfish and a silver seashell (both cast from the real thing, as well). Set with three Akoya pearls. Considering how it was nearly impossible to cast real kelp, this piece is definitely one of a kind. Designed and created by Judith Kiriazis ©2005.  2-1/8" x 1"

Beach Glass Pin4

A fringe of real glass that I picked up on Pacific Coast beaches swings freely below a freeform crescent of patinated mokume-gane, set with a silicone cabochon. One of a kind, by Judith Kiriazis ©2005   3" long x 1" high

3Arc Pin4

This is one of my favorite pieces, ever. A double arc of 14kt peach gold set with a 4mm real peridot swings out from a bar of multi-layered kiln-fused dichroic and aventurine glass, studded with my signature clear glass balls. The balls magnify the background glass and provide an ever-changing image as the wearer moves. The entire pinback, shown at left, is solid 14kt gold and is completely hand fabricated--the glass is bolted on to the pin, so it will never come off. This is a major suit or coat pin--3-3/8" long, total width: 1-1/4" Signed by the artist. ©Judith Kiriazis, 2005.
