    The other day while I was working I was listening to "Walden" on audio book, and got way inspired during "Sounds". Listening to the sounds of the whippoorwill and frogs and all... I went crazy with it a made some animals with some real personality!

    There's a couple more I didn't put in here, and a couple additional angles on these, in the "stuff I made" album of my gallery. Don't think I've ever posted my glass up here, so I thought I'd show it off! I try to be unique and artful, and do my own thing. I made time for the pics this morning, but I think I'm gonna skip loading 'em o my website till later so I can get back to my cold-ass studio!
    Let me know what you guys think of it!

    And here's another different piece. I really like the organic, oceanic sort of feel it's got. I wish the pic did it better justice!

    Thanks so much everybody! I keep on coming back in from my studio, lol. It's so cold out there I can barely work! I've been doing glass work for nearly 4 years now. :)

    Ohhh those are sweet!

    I had a glass studio set up in our old house but had to pack it up when we moved. It is all in our old school bus right now in boxes. :confused: Glass play is definately not a kid friendly craft.

    What type of glass do u use? Moretti..or is it hard glass? My dream is to get a bigger torch and start working with boro.

    They look fantastic! My favorite is the turtle (but I'm partial to turtles).

    Peace and love
