More Lampwork Photos For Your Viewing Pleasure
Mesmerize (Click for larger image.)
I mentioned in one of the comments that I had been taking some time off lampworking because it's so terribly hot here in Florida. Since my studio is in my (south-facing) garage, and between the torch and the kiln, I get pretty toasty...Summer isn't my favorite time to do lampwork.
(I tried doing work at night, but since I have to open the garage door for ventilation, I had too many bugs flying into my flame and becoming little fireballs...)
But, it's just about cool enough to start up again; I want to give it a couple more weeks, until the temps get consistently at or below 85 degrees.
Anyway, here are a couple more photos of some of my past work. In case you're wondering, I can usually make similar beads, but I can't make an identical set. So if you ever see anything interesting, you can check with me if I can make something similar.
Meanwhile, enjoy!
- Atlantis Series (Click for larger image)
Some of my work is in series, like this one (Atlantis). Actually, I think I need to make this again, because I like the "oil slick" metallic effect, combined with the spot encasing. I probably haven't made a set in this series for at least a year.
