RE: Glass Paperweights | Jenny's Art Contest Week #4
beautiful work.. That orange color seems like the glass was still hot. THe one in the middle is the most beautiful for me.. Love the structure of that blue strip. That pattern is not spirral.. How did you made it? :)
Thanks so much! The last one without any spiral patterns was made by elongating the piece a lot and then wrapping it around itself somewhat chaotically, it actually almost fell off the pipe in the process. I definitely had a lot of fun with these!
Also I saw on your blog you're a glass designer, thats awesome! In what way do you work with glass?
I studied glass design, Ive learned to grind, sandblast, engrave and paint and a little bit of blowing.. I would like to work with it more, but now I just do sandblasting sometimes... I work as a teacher and sometimes I miss the glass work :) I really loved grinding my own designs.. now I do more fine art...
That's awesome! Glass is definitely addictive but can be difficult to make a full time career. I'd love to see some of your work, is any on your blog?

I didnt blow those pieces, unfortunately, but cutting, grindding, painting and everything else including design is my work..
Wow, your work is amazing! I would love to be able to cold work like that! I'd definitely up vote all your work if it was on Steemit. It's also great to hear from other glass artist
thanks so much :)
