Frosted Glass Heron

Roger Green took a Frosted Glass Heron home to photograph. He tells me he took over 100 of it, which he overlaid to get this picture of the handmade glass heron I made. I don't know how long it took him! I hope you like the picture.

Glass Christmas decorations using Wax to color Glass

There was a post about making Glass Christmas decorations using Wax to color Glass. So I thought I would have a go... here's the first attempt:

Glass Christmas decorations using Wax to color Glass
The wax temperature is very critical and will need a bit of practice to perfect it. Quite an exiting concept. I'm looking forward to doing more :)

Glass dragon on a wooden candle stick

A while ago I had a commission for a Glass dragon on a wooden candle stick. The candle stick was made by David Thomas who lives in a beautiful wooded valley not far away. Some one asked me what the wood was and I had to say "Tree wood". I was completely stumped. :) The same customer asked me to do a dragon on another rally nice yew candle stick from David.  Here's the picture of the one they've taken away:
