Glass Pumpkins For Halloween

I made some Glass Pumpkins For Halloween and here's the picture...

Glass Pumpkins

Baby ones :)

Oh And a glass heron or two. Here's a frosted one of those. The frosted effect is created by using a sandblaster, which shoots sand at the glass heron to scratch the surface.

Frosted Glass Heron

I make the glass herons in Pink, blue, clear and frosted glass.

Glass #fairy flying

A flying Glass Fairy was seeing in the Glassblobbery today. Must be coming up to Halloween!
The pink is gold, which is applied after the clear glass has been worked.
I managed to get a picture of the flying #faery so here it is:..

Wall Hanging Red Glass Dragon

Opened the kiln today to find 2 large Glass Wall Hanging Red Dragons cuddling to keep warm. The kiln had only been up to 690 degrees Centigrade (1274 F). Well they are only newly born #dragons. They will be flying over seas to find a good home... Lucky beasties ;)  By the way they are £197 ($290) each. Here's a picture of one of the red dragons. My son has told me if you like the dragon I have to ask you to share him with your friends ;)

Next time see what happened when Roger ran off with a glass fairy...

Crystal Clear Glass Miner

I was asked if we could do a crystal glass Miner figurine. so this is what we came up with... Battery pack, helmet, pick axe and other goodies like arms and legs. 

Crystal Clear Glass Miner

Mines are for miners.
Dwarves like mines to!
EEEk non PC miners joke A Chinese guy applied for a job in a Welsh coal mine and was put in charge of the supplies. One day, Di Jones and Aled Williams were walking down the main tunnel in the lowest level. All of a sudden Di says,"Hey. Have you seen that Chinese bloke, I'm running short of candles. I haven't seen him since started."
The Aled says,"No, I haven't seen him either."
Right then, the Chinese man jumped out of a dirt mound right in front of them and yelled,"Supplies!!"

Glass Flying Witch on a Broom.

When I was up in Edinburgh I visited an exhibition in Modern 2 about witches in art. So inspired here is a flying glass witch I made the other day which came out of the staining room today. The loop on the hair is so she can hang and look as if she's flying.

Glass Witch on a Broomstick

Getting closer to Halloween. Here's a question to ponder next time you see a witch... 
Why do witches have stiff joints ?They get broomatism!

How does a witch go faster when she's flying?
She goes broom, BROOM :)

Glass pig on it's back laughing :)

The other day Roger (A guy I work with here at the Glassblobbery) took a glass pig on it's back laughing to photograph. Here are the results:

Hopefully the witch I made today will be out of the kiln and stained over the next few days.
I'll post a picture when it's finnished.
