I got on a box but it wasn't for soap!

Here's some fun stuff that I made.

I refuse to give up on this motley crew, I love them all.  Ive worked hard on preserving the fragile piece of glass that i started with. It may be in a lot of pieces right now but I brought it back together.  Because of all the accidents that have happened I have discovered a whole new way of painting.  I've had to replace one of the face's..... that's it right next to us but I've yet to discover what it is that contaminated the flat bed in order for the excellent green( what looks like silver stain  contamination to happen. ) Let me k now if you have any clues!

Rock and freaky roll, these fused scroll grall panels are coming together a treat.  Circles are made out of the waste parts of the bottoms of the vessels.  I've use the diamond wheel to engrave and the sandblaster to create more detail.  I've also screen printed  some of my repeating pattern knotwork designs onto the glass.  To some it appears chaotic but to me theres just an interesting thread to follow.  Not all weaves are simple to understand, that's life! I've used the vinal cutter in repro to make sandblasted hand pints. They are reminiscent to cave paintings, art has been important to humanity since before we became mechanised.

The Horror in Paper! Bwaaahaahaaa!

I have an animation....YES MAN!!!!! I though it was kind of middle of the road but apparently it gives other people the fear....after more discussion apparently a lot of my stuff does that.  It must be providence. I was brought up on the bible so, to be fair, there's not much that's scarier than that in my mind.

Scroll Graal

This is one of the windows for Saint Giles,  things have started to get heartily smashed up now.  One of the wheels fell off the circular saw so a glass peice I blew got broken......I really love those breaky noises.  I use bashed up frits to fill in the gaps.  I was trying to line everything up together before but have found the effect and the outcome to be better when things are allowed to overlap.  I made a rather wonky pink plate as well, that got completely smashed and layered up together.  I used some circles from the broken vessel and filled them up with some of the smashed up parts from when the overlay is done in the hotshop.  I call this technique Scroll Graal as I'm following the swedish overlay taught to me by Ingrid Phillips. I then flatten the vessels out in the kiln so that I can work into them using engraving or sandblasting, like unfolding a scroll.  They are then fused back together.  Once again making something whole out of broken or dissociated parts.  I 'm looking forward to turning them back into vessels at some time soon.
