Art Effects Glass
Bas Relief or "Innies & Outies"
PATTERN, BAS RELIEF: "Innies & Outies" These tile have designs that are in relief on the outer face, in that are into the glass. An "Innie" or "Outie". The Innie has a shiny surface with the design into the glass on the back, the Outie has the design and a pebbled surface.
You are not limited to the designs you see here. We use several techniques to achieve the design elements & can go from very strong & deep or high relief to complex & subtle designs. These examples are made of colored glass. The top row are "outies":
Ballet shoes in a frame of deep rib wave tile
The 2 sides of the same Fern "Outie" tile
Bright Sun "Outie" in a tumbled stone field
Both "Innies & Outies" in a variety of colors & designs. Maple & Oak Leaves, Jacobean Heart, Fern & Fleur
Innies & Outies that have been back enameled:
Fossil fish Mini Fish Rose
These show a more subtle use of this technique.
There are many, many more designs available: Floral, Fern, Leaf, Art Nuevo, Craftsmen, Prairie, Animal, Insect..... Let us sketch up a new one for you.
All of these designs may be done up on solid color glass or back enameled. We have volumes of copyright free designs in our reference materials, or we can come up with a new one just for you.
