these’ll be up in my shop on the 19th if a sunny day comes along so I can take proper pictures of them.
I have just a tiny bit of that turquoise blue left that I’m rationing now, I thought I could just buy more but nope, out of stock everywhere.
quick evening sketches, the view’s not much but I’ll miss it when it’s gone
imagine holding this in the palm of your hand
smallest sea slug, happy sea slug… sluesday.
wardenaristraith asked:
What type of bench torch do you use?
its a nortel minor burner that runs off a 5lpm oxygen concentrator. if I ever get to set up my own studio one day I might go for just a little bit more juice.
there’s a bunch of shrubs nearby where kids like to play so I’m going to hide these weird rocks there for them to find.
there is no point in my life where I wouldn’t want to find a weird rock so i can only assume that’s the same for others.
greenmums asked:
hello!!! first of all your slugs are MARVELOUS. second, since i assume youre working with soft glass (COE 104 or similar), i gotta ask: have you ever worked with borosilicate glass? (i have for a year or two and it’s a very different feel but i find it much more controlled lol!) love your work and definitely interested in seeing More Slugs
thanks! yep I’ve been working with soft glass for about 5 months now and haven’t had a chance to use boro yet. I’d love to one day - a less temperamental glass to work with would be a dream! unfortunately it’s also way way more expensive, both in fuel and glass so it might be a while before I try.
I do like that soft glass despite being a huge pain in the ass has a much larger colour palette, colours are good.
primary colour… core?
special request: even smaller guy
observe the stoat
I got distracted from observing the stoat for a second and noticed… there are more than one stoats!
if one is truly and utterly prepared they may observe more than one stoat

Handmade glass sea slug necklaces!
These are now up in my shop and I put a bunch of older sculptures on sale too so feel free to take a look!
I love how these guys turned out, more variety of colour and made the patterns more complex than the last batch.
