OK. How much fun are these???? This one is one of my favorites today. It's on the larger side, nearly 2 1/2 inches wide, with blues, creams and some whispies of purple floating through. It's just outright gorgeous under a light or in the sun. Wow!

More Amazing Wine Stoppers
Sunday, February 1st, 2009The Trouble Is….
Monday, January 26th, 2009I threw my shoulder out this past week. I have pulled muscles before, but this was just excruciating. Still not quite sure what exactly I did, but wow was it sore! I couldn't raise my arm, nor turn my head and my entire right side was aching with a splitting axe going through my right eyeball.
So, I was on codeine (and now vicodin!) for this past week. The

This beautiful green marble now has a home on the east coast. The setting is gorgeous letting the sun come in. We consciously made the choice to have our marbles be translucent, transparent in places rather than solid opaque, so that you could see through to the other side to get more intricate things going on in each, plus the light being able to shine through is just spectacular. I'm so happy this one has such a nice home with such loving people. It's owned by an amazing artist who has quite a history of doing incredible work - Roy Scarfo and his wife, Carol.

Why I Like Working in Glass
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009I've worked in other mediums (media?) but have found a strange quirk in myself that is really irritating - I fiddle. Yes, I play the violin, but I also just keep nerdling on things forever. When I work in traditional oils, I would keep going in and redoing things until all I had was just a mess. When I started reverse painting on glass, I was not able to
Enjoy The Full Story...I Get To Blow Glass Today!! WooHooOOOoo!!!
Sunday, January 11th, 2009I don't get to blow glass very often, so when I do, it's a real treat.
But wait, if I like it so much, why don't I do it more often? Well, if I ONLY blew glass, I'd do it every day (or most days...). BJ and I are very diversified though. Along with the glass, we paint, build sculptures (out of the glass we blow), build furniture, websites
Enjoy The Full Story...Three New Marbles
Monday, January 5th, 2009
This is a wonderful paperweight. It's 2 inches across and is really fun with the little bubbles inside. It was on ebay for just ridiculously inexpensive.
There is also this one which is very pretty with the deep gold and the ivory mixing
Another Marble
Saturday, December 27th, 2008
This is a fantastic marble, and it was for sale on ebay.
It's been to cold to blow glass the past week. Our hotshop is in a covered surrounded deck, so it's mostly fine — protected from the rain, wind and can vent through a skylight when it gets too hot, but it doesn't protect enough
