USA

June '19. My buffer is officially six months past the actual creation of the thing. This sucker doesn't photograph well, but it's got this lovely twisty clear/red/blue glass icicle I lampworked, as well as red/white/blue glass around it, and mirror. Here it is in a few lightings. Kudos to my coworker for the dark photography. Happy New Year's Adam!

Genders--in progress

May '19. To look at my phone, apparently all I did throughout April was watch hockey.
Anyway. These are going to represent different genders, intended to show the wide spectrum of nonbinary. Pure girl is pink with pink glass. Pure boy is blue with blue shell. Everything else varies, sometimes subtly, sometimes not. At some point I'll put them on some sort of framework. Happy Christmas Adam!

Genderqueer, girl, boy, demigirl

Agender. My own gender. Yellow with dichro plastic. Bigender and a different kind of nonbinary visible in the corners.

Glass dinosaur

March '19. Dinosaur made out of blown glass that was supposed to become a christmas ornament, but developed a hole. Fun fact: If a glass bubble has a hole in it, no amount of blowing will make it expand. I bent over the point to make a long neck and attached legs and a tail instead.

Volcano--in progress

February '19. Placed on hold for months after the fact, not done as of writing this post (Sept. 30).
This isn't exactly the first time I used lampworking in a piece--that honor goes to the waterfall, which is shell on the bottom and clear/blue borosilicate glass worked in the flame until it was the right shape. This is just little stringers of red boro, laid against the wood to make them the right shapes, and also setting the wood on fire. I had to use a whole system to keep straight which one went where.

Fire

The fire doesn't photograph well, so have a few shots.

Pangolin

Figured out with the waterfall to use clay over foil to make bases. Best idea.
