Hello all and Merry Christmas; not working glass anymore

We’ve also done a set of 4 Green Man pieces-- one for each season – I’ll post pics of them later-- will now attempt to post a couple more–

I love hand crafted art. My x made this hard hat for me

Do you wear it? – is it like full sized? It looks almost in miniature but that may be this rotten phone (too keeps bumping me off before I can finish message) – ah, I see now-- full size-- I’ll have to take a better look at work on PC-- this phone is too blurry

When Required. Although not for many years. But when I had: production would slow and everyone wanted but didn’t spend for custom work.Wrong class of clients ? I should had bought a Harley and had her do gas tanks, now there is a market. They don’t call them starving artists for lack of talent. You have to know what is selling.

We ran a custom glass shop for 3 years-- went very well and sold so many pieces I wouldn’t be able to count-- but anymore, I’m back at work and we (mostly “she”; I just cut glass, solder and seal them) just do “special” stuff-- mostly for our own home.

nice work! I like Ganesh best, glad to see you included the mouse/rat charioteer, lol.

The 4 Green Man pieces. Anyway, these are all just examples-- hope you all enjoy. As I said before-- considering doing some tobacco customs and just wanted to know what you guys think of her work and how it’d fit.

Green Man

@n9inchnails yes, that was in my head at times said in passing

that is great… wonder what you could do snuff related? everything snuff related seems quite small haha. i have stretched ears (only 6/8mm atm) but i wonder how easy it would be to include stained glass in tunnels. how small can the detail go? (links back to snuff size again i guess haha)

Ha-- true that. I think we are settling on doing a piece of a large tobacco plant of cut and hand-stained (the finer detailed stuff) glass, with a Dutch snuffmill in the background. We will look at putting it in our living room. On size, we have done detail as fine as a postage stamp, so I’m also thinking of doing a few boxes… Still not small enough for your ears, ha. But anyway-- just wanted to share because I thought it might make for some interesting displays.

well im on my way up, im wondering if its possible to do it in the 20-25mm range, i think thats where i want to be. as for boxes, you seem to be able to do it small enough definitely. id probably be interested in a box with a nice glass lid, perhaps a tabletop box similar in design to these, but with a glass lid- or perhaps this, with the glass inlay instead of a plain wooden top- (though the big one looks a bit too big) On an extra note, how much do you do the green man ones for?

Yeah, I was thinking of doing an inlaid one or two for myself as well.

“how much do you do the green man ones for” Unfortunately, we just did the one set for our garden. They turned out excellent – perhaps some time we will do another.

Okay I can finally see the hat clearly (now that I’m at work on pc and NOT the dratted phone) now-- and I have to agree – I also like the Roadrunner through the noggin bit
