| TRIBAL TRIBUTE:
These unique pieces are inspired by our indigenous people’s
relationship to our Earth Mother. The Tribal Tribute Series
is a collaborative work featuring Tina and her Hot Glass
Team, Muraay’s indigenous brushwork and the beadwork
of Gary Lisle. These powerful vessels speak of our ancient
ancestors. The Tribal Tribute Series has proved highly collectable
with many pieces finding homes all over Australia and more
moving overseas! Tina has created a couple of glass didgeridoos
for local well known artist, Adrian Ross. You can see one
of these amazingly powerful instruments @ Illume now!
The Tribal Goddess awaits! These
vessels could have been unearthed from some forgotten
civilization long gone. A range of these urns can be seen
at Illume Creations. Some of these gorgeous Goddesses
are adorned with intricate roses, whilst others have an
array of hand made beads. A number of these unique hand
blown artifacts are heading for the prestigious National
Liberty Museum in United States. [Click

SUNRISE SERIES: The Sunrise Series was
born as a response to the Tsunami. Tina wished to create
these pieces as a symbol of hope. The Sunrise effect is
created by layering each of the colours to create a surreal
Sunrise scene Tina has recently expanded her range of
colours in this series to include pieces from monochromatic
to multi colour! This is a much sought after series.
Select pieces of the Sunrise Series have been painted
by Indigenous artist, Muraay. Each piece has a story to
tell! Listen with your heart! [Click
