Some more ornaments and a couple of bubblers from yesterday. Im trying to get an early start on christmas orders this year so i dont get swamped in December.
Yes Misha. Everyone seems to want 3 to 6 at a time, so I do a handful of one style and then change up to different color combos an/or shapes and do another batch, and so on.
It seems over the last 3 weeks a ton of new people are seeing my work and are requesting various things. Hell, I had a guy contact me the other day saying he found my work on IG and tracked me down through FB. I dont even have an IG account nor have i ever visited the site, so that was kinda out of left field for me. Apparently he lives about 45 minutes from me and has been dabbling with lampwork on and off for the last year, and wants to get together so i can help him out with a some things. I also had 2 people contact me last week dying for me to come to some type of art fair and set up a booth and do demos and sell ornaments pendants and such. Im pretty overwhelmed by all of this.
I was skeptical about it at first, but my girl convinced me to go when she told me, " just think about it, you will be the only one there playing with fire"
a few recent things ive done in the middle of making ornaments. The peanut sculpture was a big hit here in town, beings I live in the "peanut capitol of the world".
Fire and water shot glass I made for my pops and my second attempt at a basic Sherlock spoon. I got a little bit of devitrification on the inside of the bend but overall im pretty pleased with it.
