You won’t find two identical glass creations at Shannons Shannanigans

Shannon Corscadden-Fell is an artisan who makes jewellery and other beautiful items, with every piece being unique. 

She starts with a painting process that throws paint around and creates different patterns, then she hand-paints the glass with great detail to make different small paintings on the glass.

She makes accessories, bookmarks, jewellery, earrings, necklaces, keychains, bracelets, and other handcrafted pieces.

Shannon uses acrylic paint for its vibrant colours and durability.

“It’s all acrylic paint and glass,” Shannon explained. “I’ve been doing this for about three years. The little designs, I hand paint. The colours underneath are from ‘pour’ painting. There are a bunch of colours on a canvas that get spun around, and then paint runs off of it in cool designs, and I dip the glass in the paint. Sometimes I have a bunch of colours and swirl them around and dip the glass in it. There are no two that are exactly the same.”

Every time Shannon dips glass into the paint, it swirls and changes to create an entirely different pattern for the next piece. She then hand-paints details on the patterned background.

The small paintings are highly detailed and take considerable time and concentration to get them right.

Shannon works on different items at the same time.

“When I have a painting or a couple of colours that I’m working with, I will lay out all the glass,” Shannon explained. “It’s all done by the same process. I like working with the small details and I like spending the time doing it – it brings me peace.”

Shannon started making bookmarks for fun, for herself and family members. After posting photos of some of her work online, she had so many inquiries from friends who wanted them that she decided to start selling them.

“I start with a canvas and have four or five different colours that I’ll put on the canvas, and either I tilt it into cool designs [or] put it on a spinning tray and spin it around,” she explained. “I love the fact that there are no two that are exactly the same.”

Shannon takes her work to various markets in the region.
