Ornaments, shells, and butterflies






Forgot to post any December pix. Oops. Made lots of flameworked ornaments, flowers, goblets, plus some stained glass and sandblast (the glass flowers above are in a recycled wine bottle that I cut, blasted, and painted).

Now it's a New Year. My New Year's resolution is to exercise, eat right, and finish working my way through Lewis Wilson's sculpture DVDs. Ha. We'll see how long any of that lasts. I've also got to keep working on my goblets. Cleaner bowl shapes and cleaner, prettier connections.

Lately, I've been working on glass shells, and though they're very time consuming, I really enjoy them. Grew up near the Chesapeake Bay, so I'd like to try making glass crabs too. Also, I'd like to make some ballerina ornaments next Christmas, so I'm going to start trying human figures.
