Been shooting custom paint mainly candy n flake work for about the past 15 years or so.....my names Ellis my shop was Devils Hand Productions. Shipped work all over the world.....my shop had got shut down due to some birches moving into the suite next door doing some palettes and I guess banging on old cars and bikes and shooting paint is not what's to be done in an industrial building these days.

This all happened about a year ago so all my shop had been in storage and I had hopes to build a shop on my property and well the money just is not there. So my youngest daughter has wanted to do glass work for the past 5 years now.....she just turned 14 so I started thinking maybe I can sell my equipment from the shop and set up our own glass studio in the garage and get to creating and spending more time with my girls than away painting.

So here I am an artist with a new cannvis and hopes for my girls to be able to do something with their artistic skills unlike their old man that chose to turn wrenches and paint after hours to get the artistic cravings out...

Booth and some materials sold and turned into a torch and kiln....just about 3k invested and still only have the two pieces to the puzzle.

Big thanks to all and and special thanks to Alex from Resilance Glass for all the help!

Cheers.....Deew D Eerf

Lately I think things have happened to get me to this point and I couldn't be happier to spend the time around home with my wife and kids more...
