I have been working hard at my lampworking torch and have produced some charming, even cute, animals. The first ones I produced were snowmen and then teddy bears but…… now I have penguins and bees. In the pipeline are rhinos, cats, pigs, owls and probably more but there are only so many hours in a day!
The teddy bears have gone stripey – I found a fun way to melt different colours together and then make bears with the glass mix. We have also developed little stands for them to sit on. Some creatures will be on clips but others will sit on a stand.
As you can see there are some prototypes here (one very curious owl for example) but I am working on perfecting cuteness and playing with colour.
All have a hole through the middle as if a bead (that’s how they’re made, I didn’t drill them afterwards).
