Fusion Squared, 84 Spring Street, will be featuring the fused glass art of Dorothy Moran during the month of January. Fused glass art is the canvas for expression by Dorothy Tannahill Moran. Dorothy exhibits her art currently at a gallery in Oregon where she lives in addition to Fusion Squared. The inspiration for her art lies in the things she is exposed to, whether it is in nature or the media. To express her ideas in glass, she uses glass in various conditions, ranging from ground glass called “frit”, cut flat glass or glass manipulated with a torch. Usually, her art has a practical aspect to it, such as the bowls or coasters, but because of the attention to color and design, it can be displayed to enjoy aesthetically.
The Eureka Springs Gallery Association is partnering with the American Cancer Society of Dallas for the fundraising event, “The Ornament Project.” Our artists have designed limited edition ornaments that we will be selling in our galleries. All proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society of Dallas. For more information, please visit the Eureka Springs Gallery Association website: www.artofeureka.com or the American Cancer Society of Dallas’ website: www.starlightdallas.org.
The Eureka Springs Gallery Association will dedicate their “Second Saturday Gallery Stroll” of December 13 to American Cancer Society event.

John has created several pieces of chain mail jewelry from rings of fine silver. Fine silver is 99.9% silver and does not tarnish as easily as sterling silver. Below are some images of earrings and necklaces that he has created:
I want to introduce Dorothy Tannahill Moran, a new fused glass artist that we are now featuring in our store. Dorothy and her husband, Terry, own PortlandSky Designs, a studio featuring custom art in glass and wood. We are presently carring serving pieces that Dorothy has created. Her technique is amazing. The theme in the serving pieces is autumn leaves and she has created the leaves entirely from glass frit. We have 15-inch diameter serving platters, a 8-inch square plate and a coaster set. We look forward to the new, exciting pieces that she will be creating in the future.
