Jeff the Glass Giraffe

Glass  Giraffes from the Glassblobbery!

Here are a couple of giraffes! The amber color is added by using silver oxide. and the black/brown spots are lamp lacquer hand painted after 2 firings. The lamp lacquer is cured on to the surface of the glass after its brush application.

Glass Giraffe Walking



I’ve been making African beasties like glass Giraffes and Rhinoceros over the last two days. Rhino yesterday and giraffe today so here’s a picture of a glass giraffe.

Glass giraffe
 I saw this... don't chicken out of reading this :)
 It seems that God received a delegation of animals complaining of their lot in life. There was an elephant, a giraffe, and a hen. The elephant complained, "Lord, I HATE THIS TRUNK YOU have given me. It gets in the way, and makes me look like a total fool!"
The Lord said, "Don't complain. It lets you pick up food, drink, and water without getting wet!"
Next the giraffe complained, "Lord, I HATE THIS LONG NECK! It makes me top heavy, I get terrible neck pains, and people point and laugh at me!"
The Lord said, "Don't complain. It lets you pick the best fruit and leaves from the high branches, and allows you to see a fair distance."
Then, the hen spoke up. "Lord, I don't want to complain, but either let me have a bigger ass or smaller eggs."
