Glass Dragon on a rock

I've been working at a dragon on a rock. It's turned out really well. I found the rock in a local stream, put it through the dishwasher and made a dragon to go on it... Great fun. Wendy's colors work very well by enhancing the form. Here's a picture of it:

I was asked if we had a glass Tiger. This is a glass tiger cub from Pamy in the North East of England.:

What do you get if you cross a tiger with a sheep?
A stripey sweater!

Hope you like them? Might do a dragon next time....

Glass Fusing kit for beginners

I came across a Glass Fusing Kit For Beginners, which I thought would be of interest for those people interested in do some of their own glass work at home. Its great in that you can heat the glass in a microwave. You can see the kit at http://amzn.to/14hT85e. If you know anybody who would be interested in the kit you're welcome to share this post :

Glass Swans

I was asked if I would make some glass swans as wedding favors. Here are two Swans I have made:

Another picture with two of each … I must be creating pairs for the ark :)

Glass Sea Horses

I did two giraffes the other day on face book so I thought I would do another couple of creatures... Glass Seahorses.

Two Glass Seahorses

The blue colour comes from cobalt oxide, the pink is gold oxide and the light green is chrome oxide. Each metal requires firing at its own temperature so the process can take up-to a fortnight!

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 leaping fish catching a fly...

Three glass leaping fish awards were collected today for the youth international fly fishing championships, which are taking place at LLynBrenig today. So I thought I would put a picture of a leaping fish up for you to see. This glass fish is catching a fly...
