As promised, here are good photos of my new cast glass meeples! They look like candy, all vibrant and shiny!
Meeples of glass!
Look at these little cuties! The very first thing I did when I got to my studio was to make some tiles in these colors so I could send them to a waterjet-cutting service to get meeple-shapes in my glass!
Diggity dots
One thing I wanted to have a play with in my kiln-formed glass studio was dots. I could probably fiddle about with dots quite happily for years! But this time it’s using powdered glass and one of the punch boards
Glass in England
Well my making time has flown by but almost everything is still in interim phases! Except these little cuties! If you’ve always wanted a beach hut perhaps we can make your dreams come true! These will be at the Surrey
come see me-I’m having a sale!
I’m off to England tomorrow to play with my big kiln and make some kiln-formed glass! I’ve got a few commissions to make and some new work that’s been brewing in the back of my mind, so I’m very excited!

I love the post-kickstarter-time-of-year. I’ve been having such fun making custom rewards for Rahdo’s wonderful backers and it’s totally fired up my braincells. Looking back over the last 2 months at all the new things I’ve made…well, it feels great! But I

Last weekend the palette penguins got together to congratulate my newest penguins, a bride and groom. They then jetted off to take charge of holding down the cake at a human wedding. Ahhhhh, the life of cosmopolitan penguins. It’s wuv, trwooo wuv.

I’ve got a penguin in every pot! Oops, I mean a penguin in every pot of color. And even more: they’re all photographed and have gone live on Etsy! Whooohooo! And I know, everyone’s been on the edge of their seats waiting for those
Follow that Turtle
I’ve been on a bit of a penguin kick lately…I’m making a penguin palette! So yesterday I embarked on a penguin marathon, and made 11! Eleven! I’m getting ready to get on the torch again today…I’m being a bit focused because
A Gleeple re-think
Gosh it’s nice to be home! Being away from the torch for a month gave me time to have a think about the Gleeples. I’ve had a few requests for them as ‘just markers’ so I’ve decided to offer that
