Glass dragon with a candle stick...

I've not long finished a Glass dragon with a candle stick... or should it be Candle stick with a colored glass dragon? It's taken me ages to work out what I was going to do, but this is what I came up with:

Glass Easter bunny full of chocolate eggs

With Easter being so close I thought I'd make a Glass Easter bunny to fill with chocolate eggs.  I visited an old Easter note book from 1978. There were some designs in it for glass pomanders created by Scottish glass blower Billy Kenny. They were adapted to use as rooters and candle holders a few years later, but I felt they would make good sweet holders. So here's a picture of the rabbit I made the other day :)
There were more eggs in it... They are soooo tempting.

Glass Otter Chasing a Fish

Aussie Dog Care UK asked me if I had a glass otter chasing fish. This is the one I have left until I make some more. I do larger glass otters chasing 3 fish, which is on my list of things to make.

Glass Dragon on a Stone

Here is a Glass Dragon on a Stone. The stone is from a river flowing into Bala Lake in North Wales.
Metal oxides are used to create the colors, a bit like glazing ceramic. Anyway here's a picture of it:

Crystal Clear Glass Swans Awards

I was commissioned to make 11 Crystal Clear Glass kissing Swans winners Awards for
Ultra Glow Cosmetics. Their aim is beauty without cruelty. I really enjoyed making the glass swans  and Aled did a really good job of engraving the bases. Peter at Ultra Glow Cosmetics asked for the text to all be in lower case, which I think works well. Here's a picture of one of the awards:
