Powers Art Glass

The oxygen concentrator arrived Monday!! I got to torch a good amount the past few days, yesterday I made 11 pendants! We also have the wood stove going now so it is quite a bit warmer in the studio. Once we get some wood for it in the morning back to more torching I am hoping for 15-25 pendants tomorrow. I’ll probably shoot for 15 more than 25 just because I want to try a few new pendants. I will post pictures probably Sunday.

I also tried my first murrini marble! We bought a bunch of different murrini last year and never ended up using them. I tried making a turtle in a vortex. Then dropped it 3 times, first marble in a while with nothing good to grab it when I’m finished. The marble has a big surface crack I then tried another right after but that ended up cracking when I put the murrini on Anywho I have one more try with a turtle murrini and then it will have to be a butterfly or something else. Next try hopefully will work out, I think I know what I was doing wrong.

This weekend I will probably design a chess set to make and work on finishing that sometime January. We don’t have a chess set here so I figured I could make a simple one for us. I know the color for one side, it is the same color as the chess looking piece with an eye that I made at the Pipyr class. Not sure about the other color yet, maybe a lighter caramel color.

It has been 2 months since Andrea and I have torched together so that will be really nice to do in the next few days :) Also means figuring out what I still want to do with soft glass.

Oh also my tutorial is listed and have had my first sale on it
