starting up


I got home from the residency/retreat all excited about getting back into the cast glass work, ready to start on my next body of work, the river stories, which means I have to finish the botanica erotica pieces.

I have 10 of the proposed 12 and the 3 larger ones already cast so I seemed to be pretty close to finishing. Except that when I was going through my images to select the last couple, I had just too many really good ones so I expanded the proposed pieces to 15 small and 5 large.

Not to mention that I still haven't finished up the body of work before these pieces. The peach box being the case in point. Not to mention the one I haven't even started yet.

It took me over a week to re-enter fully after returning home. And then I had some commission work to do, still have one to do this week and a sketch for another, but...


I finally started on the next wax for the botanica erotica series yesterday.

  6. You've definitely got a lot on your plate! I guess it's good to have multiple projects working at once, so you can switch from one to another before burnout sets in.

  7. That botanica erotica model is exquisite.
    If you can make that into a glass ornament you are a great artist in your field.

  9. Getting into the things can be a pain, but once you're there... the rest it's working pleasure, usually ;-)
