Latest piece in the infinity sculpture lineup! This sculpture follows my usually pyramid shape but incorporates a large amount of carvings along the sides of the piece! #glassart #glassartist #opticalart #fyp #fineart #infinitysculpture #infinityart

Brand new infinity sculpture! This one follows the usual pyramid shape but incorporates carvings along each side of the piece. Available at @creativegatewaysgalleries #glassart #glassartist #glassartwork #jbarts #infinity #fineart

Another soap bubble sculpture complete! This piece uses glass cane to help decorate the bubble. I hope to increase the size of the bubble and intensity of the patterns soon! #glassart #glass #bubbles #soapbubbles #fineart #glasssculpture #jbarts #blownglass #sculptedglass

Playing around with new ideas. This series is a sculptural version of a soap bubble wand with a glass bubble being blown from it. Excited to try larger sizes and additional colors. #glassart #blownglass #jbarts #soapbubbles #glassartwork

The latest in the infinity series! This piece is similar to shapes I’ve done before but we’ve changed the stand to display it from a different angle. Creating a completely different effect within the piece! #glassart #glassartist #artsy #jbarts #fineart #infinity #opticalart

Here’s the most recent infinity sculpture! This is a similar shape I’ve done before but displayed with the carvings down instead of up. #glassart #glassartist #fineart #jbarts #infinity #glass

Here’s one of the latest infinity sculptures! This piece is mounted vertically on a rotating stand!

The infinity pendants are now available at @sparksgallery! These pendants are made from layered dichroic glass that has been shaped and polished to produce the effect you see! Each pendant comes with a display case and silver chain! #glassart #wearableart #pendants #glasspendant #jbarts #fineart #glassartist #dichoric

Here’s the latest piece in the Nautili series! The sculpture features a large glass marble with two lenses carved into both sides. #glassart #glassartwork #fineart #nautili #jbarts #glass #sculptedglass

One of the most recent pieces in the Nautili series. This sculpture features a large marble in the middle with two lenses carved in both sides! #glassart #fineart #glassartwork #interiorart #interiordesign #glassartworks #jbarts

Trying something new, this puzzle piece features colorful glass on one half and black and white glass on the other half. #glassart #jbarts #artsy #puzzlepiece #castglass #glassblowing #colorful

New design in the Nautili series. These new pieces use large marbles in the middle that help create a bunch of interesting optical effects. More to come soon! #glassart #glassartist #sculptedglass #fineart #nautili #art

Here’s one of the latest additions to the nautili series! Unfortunately this piece had a tragic end because I accidentally cracked it while working on it. But I thought it looked cool enough to wanna show it anyway. You live and you learn. #glassart #glassartworks #fineart #jbarts #glasssculpture #glassartworks #nautili

One of my favorite glass puzzle pieces. This piece uses emerald green glass for the background and blue dichroic glass melted in the foreground! #glassart #glassartist #artsy #fineart #jbarts #puzzlepiece #puzzleart #dichroic #dichroicglass

Had a bunch glass in these scraps lying around and decided to try melting it together. Wasn’t sure if I was going to like it at first, but after finishing it I think it’s one of my favorite color combos so far! #glassart #fineart #jbarts #puzzlepiece #glassartwork

Here’s a new abstract puzzle piece! Tried playing with some new colors on this design. #glassart #jbarts #fineart #glassart #puzzlepiece #abstractart

New Infinity Pendant! This one uses a lighter colored dichroic glass. This makes it look clear when you look directly at it but once you angle the piece you begin to see all the color within! #glassart #infinity #pendant #wearableart #jbarts

New Infinity Pendant! Tried a new pattern with the glass on this one. Excited to continue with this series! #glassart #glassartist #artsy #jbarts #fineart #wearables #wearableart

Quick look at the latest infinity pendant! #glassart #glassartist #artsy #fineart #wearableart #glassartwork #jbarts

One of the latest infinity sculptures! This one has a denser pattern on the top, creating a much more intricate pattern within the piece!

A new addition to the Nautili series, these pieces use cane wrapped around the main color of the piece. #glassart #glassartist #artsy #fineart #nautili #glasssculpture #glassblowing #jbarts

Here’s the addition to the infinity series! These pendants use ultra thin glass to create the same effect seen in the infinity sculptures but in a wearable size!

Going back to the aquatic theme, I used a bunch of bright colors for the foreground and a nice collection of blue glass in the background to try and create an underwater aesthetic. #puzzlepiece #glasspuzzlepiece #glassart #fineart #handmade #jbarts

Here’s the latest set of Nautili! I like using cool colors with these pieces but I think I’m gonna start branching out into hot colors with this series! #glassart #glassartist #jbarts #fineart #nautili #handmade #california #sculptedglass

First prototype of the infinity pendant is complete! Got some small things to refine but these will hopefully be ready to sell soon! #glassart #infinity #infinitypendant #glassart #glassartwork #wearableart #jbarts #artsy #glassandmetal #finesilver #dichroicglass

Here’s a recently made glass puzzle piece that combines bright green swirls and blue glass mixed within. #glass #glassart #art #fineart #puzzlepiece #puzzleart #jbarts #artreels #explorepage #colorful

Here’s a recent piece that combines large lime green swirls with blue glass laced within! #glassart #fineart #interiordesign #puzzlers #jbarts

Here is the latest in the Nautilus series, this piece is my biggest one yet standing 17” tall. #glassart #fineart #interiordesign #sculptedglass #jbarts

Here’s a new glass puzzle piece using cane, stringers and a bunch of other components. I tried making this resemble flowers growing on a bush. #glassart #glassartist #interiordesign #artist #highendart #interiorart #puzzlepiece #blownglass #flowers

Quick look at one of the latest glass puzzle pieces! #glassart #glassartwork #jbarts #puzzlepiece #glasspuzzlepiece #blownglass #interiordesign #fineart #highendart

Here’s the latest infinity sculpture! This one is currently my largest piece yet! #fineart #interiorart #glassart #jbarts

Here’s a look at the latest infinity sculpture! This piece is currently my biggest one yet! #fineart #interiordesign #opticalart #infinityart #jbarts

This new series has been in the works for a while now. Finally at a point where I can produce these consistently. These fireflies can be mounted to a stand or removed and mounted to the wall, just like the puzzle pieces. #fineart #glassart #fireflys #glassfireflies #lightningbug #glassartist #glasssculpting

Working on getting into larger castings using the blown glass scraps. Here’s a smaller piece I just finished but I’ll definitely be expanding on size and complexity. #fineart #glassart #glassartist #artforyou #jbarts #glasssculpture #castglass #glassy #jbarts

Here’s the latest piece in the Whisk series. #glassart #fineart #interiordesign #jbarts #whisk #sculptedglass

Working on some new colors with the infinity sculptures! Took some experimenting but hopefully now I’ll be able to produce these pieces in whatever color I want! #glassart #glassartist #infinity #fineart #jbarts #artsy #handmadeart

Here’s how I made one of my recent infinity sculptures! #glassart #glass #glassartist #fineart #glassartworks #gold #goldglass #laminatedglass #laminatedglassart #infinity #infinityart #coldworking #carving #polishing #polishedglass #opticalart #opticalglass #explorepage #artreel #artsy #artforyou #artistvlog #jbarts

Back to the solid color with this piece. Going to be experimenting with some new colors soon! #glassart #fineart #interiordesign #whisk #sculptedglass #hotglass #jbarts #green

Here’s a new art piece all finished up. Went back to basics color wise but I really like this green glass so I thought I’d make one without any color over the top. #glassart #glassblowing #artglass #glassy #jbarts #fineart #handmadeart #artforyou #explorepage #sandiego #interiordesign #artforyou #glasssculpture #coloredglass #hotglass #handmade #handmadeglassart #artsy

New whisk with a white outside and dark green inside. #fineart #glassart #glass #jbarts #whisk #glassartist #interiordesign

Here’s a couple of dichroic puzzle pieces I recently finished. Still trying to figure out how to capture the full effect of the dichroic glass! #fineart #glassart #jbarts #interiordesign #wallart #puzzle #puzzlers #puzzlepieces

Went back to the black and white color scheme with this one. This time using mostly black and white cane. #glassart #glasspuzzlepiece #jbarts #glass #blackandwhite #fineart

New puzzle piece using a variety of glass canes. #glassart #fineart #jbarts #artsy

Here’s ones of the latest pieces in the whisk series. This piece uses a carving along both sides of the piece to expose the color underneath. #glassart #glassartist #blownglass #glasssculpting #fineart #handmadeart #artsy #colorfulart #carvedglass #fineglassart #interiordesign #jbarts #coldworking #hotshop #battuto #glassarts #fyp

Here’s another blown glass puzzle piece. This one I tried to do a color fade on. Hopfully soon I’ll start making full puzzle piece sets with color fades going across the pieces. #fineart #glassart #blownglass #jbarts #puzzlepiece #glasspuzzlepiece

Here’s the latest infinity sculpture I call Abyss. The name comes from the seemingly infinite abyss that forms in the center of the piece. #glassart #coldworked #coldworkedglass #laminatedglass #laminated #infinite #abyss #glassartwork #handmadeart #customglassart #highendart #highend #fineart #fineglassart #infinity #polishedglass

Here’s another addition to the whisk series. Went with a simpler carving pattern with this one but I think I prefer this style to the one prior. #glassart #fineart #whisk #glasssculpture #blownaway #glasssculpting #coldworking #jbarts #interiordesign

Just finished a new infinity piece. This one is a similar shape to the original abyss piece but with some added techniques. #glassart #coldworking #infinity #opticalglass #laminatedglass #fineart #interiordesign #jbarts #battuto

Here’s the latest in the whisk series. This one uses a opaque white on the outside and has battuto along the spine to expose the dark blue color underneath. #art #glassart #fineart #carvedglass #whisk #jbarts #interiordesign #battuto #lightanddark #hotshop #hotglass #coldworking

A bit simpler of a pattern with a focus mostly on color contrast. #art #glassart #fineart #glasspuzzlepiece #interiordesign #glassartworks #artforyou #interiordesign #jbarts

Tried a new pattern with this piece. With the focus on blues around the outside edge and purple and pink glass in the center. #glassart #castglass #fineart #puzzlepiece #jbarts

Finally a glass cane puzzle piece with no compatability issues! Hopefully more to come. #glassart #glassartist #fineart #handmade #puzzlepiece #glasspuzzlepiece #jbarts #coldworked #castglass #blownglass #glassblowing

Another infinity sculpture complete. I call this shape Abyss since the lens on the top creates the illusion of an infinite abyss. Going to begin producing much larger versions soon to hopefully increase the visual affects! #art #fineart #glassart #coldworking #opticalart #glassartworks #handmade #interiordesign #infinity #glasssculpture #highenddesign #jbarts

Here’s a new piece in the infinity series. I call this shape Abyss since the lens in the middle creates the illusion of an infinite abyss. Working on a much larger one that will hopefully be ready soon! #glassart #glass #handmadeglassart #fineart #artreel #artfyp #interiordesign #rotatingart #sculpture #glasssculpture #coldworked #polishedglass #satisfyingart #jbarts #infinity #originalart

Another completed whisk with a transparent dark blue core. #art #glassart #whisk #glasssculpting #fineart #handmade #jbarts

Back to the Ol’ dichroic pieces. Tried using mostly large chunks with this piece here. Gonna be doing more of these as well as trying out some new ideas soon. #art #glassart #glasspuzzlepiece #puzzlepiece #glass #castglass #coldworked #coldwork #handmade #fineart #jbarts

This one is quite the opposite of my last piece, with the main focus being to incorporate a large variety of color in this design. #art #glassart #fineart #jbarts #artforyou #interiordesign #glassartwork #castglass #glasspuzzlepiece #puzzlepiece #abstract #colorful

Usually I make pieces with lots of color but I decided to try just black and white this time around. #glassart #glasspuzzlepieces #fineart #artworks #handmadeart #artforyou #glass #interiordesign #puzzlers #jbarts

Working on a couple of glass puzzle pieces today! This is my first time doing an all black and white piece.

Took a while to collect the color needed for this piece but it was worth the wait! Can’t wait to do more like it! #art #glassart #fineart #interiordesign #castglass #glassartworks #jbarts #design #puzzlepiece #glasspuzzlepiece

Here’s the latest in the infinity series. Really enjoying this new shape on the rotating base! Can’t wait to try these in a bunch of other colors! . . . . . #glassart #fineart #interiordesign #laminate #laminatedglass #coldworked #coldworkedglass #fineartworks #gold #goldglass #discover #artdiscover #jbarts #handmadeglassart #opticalglass #opticalart #galleryart #artfyp #fyp #battuto #carvedglass

Here’s my most recently finished piece in the infinity series. With this piece I added some battuto on all sides and built a rotating base to help showcase the different effects. Trying to get pictures of this piece that show all the detail is really difficult so I decided to include a video. I’ll also be adding a more detailed video of the piece as a separate post. #fineart #artsy #glassart #jbarts #interiordesign #laminationedglass #gold #infinity #coldworked #galleryart #fineartworks #handmade #design #decor

Here’s another finished whisk, this one uses opaque glass mixed with translucent glass. I’m gonna be playing around with some cold-working techniques on these in the future to see what else is possible with this design! . . . . . #art #fineart #jbarts #glassart #glasssculpting #sculpture #handmadeart #interiordesign #artforyou #glassartworks #whisk #opaque #sculptedglass #glassy

Unfortunately this one will never see a gallery since cracks began to form on the surface due to glass incompatibility. But I liked the pattern a lot so I decided to finish it. I went through all the color I have stored and hopefully got rid of any problematic glass. So hopefully the next one will be a success. #art #fineart #handmade #glass #glassart #jbarts #interiordesign #castglass #puzzlepiece

Here’s a new piece to the infinity series. This piece still needs a stand for it and a good cleaning. But once done it’ll be a fun edition to the series. I definitely plan on doing much larger versions in the future. #art #fyp #satisfying #infinite #fineart #designer

Here’s another puzzle piece using lots of bright colored glass canes. #art #fineart #glassart #puzzlepieces #rainbow #colorful #satisfyingart #jbarts #interiordesign #handmade

New puzzle piece using some more blown glass scraps. #art #fineart #interior #interiordesign #jbarts #glass #glassart #puzzlepieces #glasspuzzlepiece

Back to some more aquatic colors with this one. This one reminds me of the ocean and coral reefs 🪸 #art #glassart #fineart #aquatic #puzzler #puzzlepiece #glasspuzzlepiece #blownglass #castglass

Went with a random color selection with this piece. This is also the largest shape I make so I was really able to put in a lot of color. #art #jbarts #fineart #fyp #puzzlepiece #puzzler #glassart

Couple of new dichroic puzzle pieces pieces. The first one uses a new color. Originally I thought it was gonna come out pink but I guess blood red is the new pink.

Usually a lot of the pieces I do are based around cooler colors so I decided to stick with mostly hot colors on this piece. I spaced out the colors to give it some depth in the casting but next time I’ll see what filling the whole mold with color does. #art #glassart #fineart #glasspuzzlepiece #castglass #blownglass

Unfortunately this piece formed cracks due to incompatibility in the glass. But I liked the pattern enough to wanna finish it anyway. I definitely want to do more like it! #fineart #glassart #glass #jbarts #artsy #castglass #puzzlepiece #blownglass

Here’s the latest piece to the whisk series. I really like the solid transparent colors but I think I’m gonna begin playing with additional patterns and techniques to hopefully add more diversity to this series. #fineart #glass #glassart #whisk #jbarts

Here’s a quick video of a recent art piece I finished. This piece is apart of my infinity series I’ve been developing lately. I’m excited to continue to push this idea further with many different techniques, shapes, colors and sizes. #art #fyp #fineart #glassart

Here’s my most recently finished infinity sculpture I call “Crown Jewel”. This was my first time trying out this shape as well as my first time building a stand for a piece like this. I had a lot of fun making it and I plan on doing many more like it. Ill be posting a video of this piece later this week. #fineart #glassart #jbarts #galleryart #crownjewel #infinity
