Glass swans their first kiss

The Valentine gift for one young person will be a pair of Glass Swans.
Here is a picture of the swans and their first kiss:

Kissing Glass Swans

With Valentine’s Day coming up, I thought it would be a great time to think about that first kiss. Do you remember yours? Did you know this person a long time or was it someone you just met? Where was it? Was it when were accompanying someone home? :/ After delving into my dim and distant past I can't remember this "memorable" event. When I mentioned this dilemma to a friend (who shall remain nameless - you'll understand why!) said he had no problem remembering it at all. It was with a mirror! On reflection I always thought he had a big ego.

Glass rose to go inside a Heart for Valentine's Day

Today I’m working on a glass rose to go inside a glass heart for Valentine’s Day. The rose is sandblasted to give the frosted finish lamp lacquer is applied to give the rose its colour. the leaves are sprayed with chrome, which sinks into the glass and turns green in the kiln. Here’s a picture of it:

An ideal gift for the one you love.

Here's a little quote I came across: 

When you Love Someone, Its some thing. . . When someone loves you, it's another thing. When you Love the Person Who Loves U Back, THEN it's everything . . .

Some Valentine’ Day For Him

Some Valentine’ Day For Him - elusive gift for him the search still goes on.
Men are always hard to buy for. Photographa are always a good idea for a Valentine gift for him – A picture of yourself or bothe together in one of our Crystal Blocks that he’ll be able to keep some where to remind him of you. This Valentine gift will remind him of you during those long hours when the days just seem to drag on and on and on.

Still stuck for a Valentine gift for him? You could go the usual route and get him some tools or perhaps a cooler bag that fits into his golf bag. That could make a good Valentine gift for him. Or what about shelling out somemoney and booking him a couple of hours in his favourite car as the perfect Valentine gift for him? There is always some crazy out door adventures that would make a great Valentine gift for him, if he’s into that sort of thing or a flying session as a great and adrenalin-pumping Valentine gift for him? Not a bad idea either. But what else can you give him that will make a good Valentine gift for him?

We can write a message or name on them, to make the glass love heart even more personal.

Valentine's Day is getting closer so now is the time to order that special surprise for the one you love.

Al’s Doves on Glass and my Glass Wizard

When I mentioned to the young man back from Italy that Valentine’s Day was coming up he engraved a glass with doves on.  Meanwhile there is a Glass Wizard in the kiln having its final oxide firing. I can’t wait to see the finished bloke. So here’s a picture of Al's engraved doves on a glass.
