Okay, before you say anything about the word PUSSY --

Just kidding. Those of you who have seen my work know I don't make marbles, pipes, or goblets anything particularly useful -- mostly, it's flowers, leaves, branches or some form of precipitation.

It's springtime in Alaska, and that means trash along the highway, dogshit and pussy willows. I thought I'd skip memorializing the first two.

Bullseye (90 coe) soda-lime glass, worked on a GTT Lynx. Woodland Brown and Cinnabar for the branch; base of buds are black, with Deco Grey fuzzies. Etched for a few minutes with Dip N Etch, neutralized with baking soda, then rinsed.

Just for putting in a Raku vase, for sort of an Ikebana thing.

Hey if they're not useful to you guys up north, I could use them in Illinois!

They're wonderful, nice use of Bullseye.

Nice work barb, if the 2 outside ones were fused to the center one, that would make a great wall hanging scene.

Those are incredible! I like Steve's suggestion, that would be a gorgeous piece of wall art.

thanks!

I was just going to put them in a vase. Something I don't have to water!

Very nice, and with soft glass. I really liked your raindrops too.
