Here are pictures of four paperweights I made (2 clear and 2 blue).

And here is the first glass I made.

I have a few more items that I made which are still at the studio and unfortunately some of what I made was lost in the shuffle of so many people moving and removing pieces from the annealer (which is like a kiln where you leave the hot glass to cool slowly so it doesn't shatter).
I'm really happy I tried it, thanks for the great birthday gift hubby!
Oh wow. Meg, they turned out beautiful! What an amazing skill to have. I too would have a hard time with the heat though, but good for you for trying it out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving a comment Sarah! I'm so happy to have tried it, and I definitely felt a sense of accomplishment when I held these pieces in my hands.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! I love trying new things and I am sure you have a greater appreciation for glass now! Happy New Year!
