I've been doing a bunch of work at the torch. With the almost daily time behind the torch, I'm really enjoying my increase in glass control.
Here are a few new earrings that I have for sale on my Etsy site.
I have also been working on some lampwork challenges from a Facebook group that I follow. The November challenge was to make a glass mandala. Here is my best attempt. I will need to practice this skill more.
The December challenge is to make twisties in glass. I have been turning these glass twisties into icicles for my tree. I have always had glass icicles on my tree, but this is the first year that I created some of those icicles. I am really enjoying this result of the December challenge.
Finally I have been working on some small holiday animals - penguins, snowmen, santas, etc. I really like creating these. I have then attached them to the small honey jars from my bees as holiday gifts.
Keeping the kiln warm.
