Yay! New glassy things to share

May 09, 2004 26 Replies

I made some stuff that's new-to-me, so I wanted to share. :)



The pics aren't very good 'cause I uploaded them to my friend Steve's picture-sharing website so all our geek friends could see them too.



My first vessels (besides an ugly core vessel I made years ago). Left to right: hollow wound, blown on a hollow mandrel, blown on a tiny blowpipe. I prefer the hollow mandrel method!

My second, third and fourth marbles. The third was my second attempt at a third, the first third got away from me. :) I lost the first marble somewhere, which is just as well because IT WAS UNBELIEVABLY UGLY. Like, WOW ugly. I'm not exaggerating at all, it was amazing.

Last, and also least, :) a funny-looking little vase that was supposed to be a bottle but Bad Things Happened:

First trys are so fun to see cause later we get to see the rewards of all your practice. I like them. Theyre all cool. ... but I sure wish we could see the marble you lost. It piques my curiosity to see what an artist considers ugly. Diana, who also lost a marble or two

Diana said it first but I want to see the marble too. I'm also curious. You know some things we think are ugly someone will think they are beautiful.

I like your little penguin guy. He's cute.

Diana, if I ever find it I'll take a picture and post it, because it was truly amazing.

I really love it, too! that is just so quirky and cute.

LOL! Thanks! I think it's kinda cute too, just not - quite - what I was shooting for.

That clinches it... of course, if I try to make one on purpose who knows what I'll end up with...

Geez, thanks Christina! I have to admit I'm awfully proud of them but then, I'm not exacly objective. :) I am keeping the orange one for myself and the others are for a vessel exchange. I need to make one more, too, but I just love the orange one too much to send it off.

Kalera,

The penguin is adorable! And I *love* that vase. How big is it? (If you've already answered that, I'll get to the answer eventually, no need to repeat it.)

Vessels! Ah, I didn't read the original post carefully enough... I thought they were little godesses with their hands on hips and remarkably small heads! I thought they were cool and quirky as godesses (sp???), but they're very nice vessels, too! :-)

A

LOL! I love the image of them as goddesses, that's so cute! Maybe that means I need to make a goddess-vessel?

Thanks Alison! The vase is about an inch and a half tall.

I second that. I would love to see a goddess vessel.

those little vessels are so lovely! man, I blame this newsgroup entirely for feeding my ever growing lampwork addiction. I might be able to resist it a bit better if you guys weren't always posting so many beautiful things. not that I'm complaining, mind you..it's certainly brought some new ideas to my jewelry making.
