Circle of life

Circle of life

(VeronicaL.AlmyWright)
My grandmother, Helen, passed away recently at the age of 96. I created this picture for my mother to honor their relationship. I added the roses because they both love flowers and etched the words using a sticker sheet as stencil and Armour etch cream.

The upper left photo is my grandmother in 1912 at the age of two. The upper right photo is my grandmother and mother in 1947 and the bottom photo is the two of them in 1996.

flat lapped Jar

flat lapped Jar

(Ech)
This is the first thing I made with my new flat lap. It is a little jar. It is Amazon Night coil potted and trailed with pomagranite. I just made some random cuts and I put it back in the flame to bring out the oil-on-water effect.
Kalahari Lioness

Kalahari Lioness

(KajBeck)
Taking the idea further, I have been researching each animals enivironment, trying to reproduce what would be native in their land. Also adding moon and stars to the night sky. These are alot of fun not just making the marble, but the fun facts- this one is a Kalahari lioness with a Camelthorn tree and shrubs. I have 5 canvas' left 3 Safari's and 2 Scuba's, I have a long weekend of blasting ahead of me, next post will be of the batch.
Thanks for taking the time....

Graal Steal Your Face Jar

Graal Steal Your Face Jar

(Ech)
This jar is the first piece of graal work i have accomplished since I took the class with RAM in January. It took me a while to aquire all the necessary equipment and materials and then it took me a couple of tries to get it right. My biggest problem was that my printer did not prnt in a high enough DPI. Many more graal vessels are coming. Thanx for looking.
'Lake & Fire' by Mark Leputa

'Lake & Fire' by Mark Leputa

(MarkLeputa)
During the time this was made there was alot of speculation as to when the crater lake on Mt Ruapehu would burst from thermal activity causing a volcanic mudslide known as a lahar. This did eventually happen. Where I was living in Taupo, New Zealand I had a clear view of the Lake Taupo and the volcanoes (Ruapehu, Tongariro, and Ngaruhoe), a natural blending of hot and cold. I tried to bring this to the piece. Oddly enough Lake Taupo is in itself a volcanic crater (known as a caldera), below the surface there is still alot of thermal activity - cold on the surface but red hot down below.

'Of the Night' by Mark Leputa

'Of the Night' by Mark Leputa

(MarkLeputa)
I found this piece reminded me of childrens' fears of the dark. It is a resemblance of how shadows could appear to be lurking creatures of the night.

'Crocodile Rock' by Mark Leputa

'Crocodile Rock' by Mark Leputa

(MarkLeputa)
The crackle effect to me always looked cool even if it is really simple. This was the first time I tried it and it looks great when looking into the thick glass. Over the jade green it looks like crocodile skin hence the title (also aptly named after the Elton John song)

Picture It Mirror

Picture It Mirror

(HenriByrd)
Given the proper tools and proven methods of operating those tools one can create wondrous works of art in a wide array of mediums. I choose mirror glass as my main medium to create truly one of a kind hand carved and sandblasted 2D and 3D wall mirrors. This portfolio only serves as an example to the types of items that can be made using this medium. The rectangular items are approximately 32" X 38" and the rest range in size from 24" X 29" up to 36" X 51", however, upon your request can be made in virtually any size or color.

Sandcarved Jar Series

Sandcarved Jar Series

(Ech)
These are the first in a series of sandcarved jars. The name of the series is call, "Primary Intentions".
If your familiar with the Federal Statutes regarding drug paraphenalia then you know what is meant by "Primary Intentions".

Two of these jars can be seen in the Fall 2007 issue of The Flow.
Thanx for looking.

"Endangered" by Lesley Pyke

(LesleyPyke)
"Endangered" is a crystal cullet from a remote glass factory in northern France which I have hand engraved with a selection of the top most endangered bugs in the UK. Apart from polishing the harshest edges, I kept it in its raw state. A percentage of the proceeds of its sale will be going to buglife.org.uk . This piece was shortlisted for the 2007 Glass Sellers Engraved Award.
Presently on Exhibition and for sale at London Glassblowing in the Glass Sellers Award Exhibition.
"The Cullet was in danger of being destroyed in a remote glass factory in Northern France, I was offered the opportunity to save it. The bugs are in the top 20 in the list of endangered bugs. The bugs are delicate and fragile as is the cullet itself. I did not know whether it may shatter during engraving and become extinct, as the bugs may be doomed but just may survive as long as they are protected, protect this cullet and these bugs may last forever."

'Stability' by Mark Leputa

'Stability' by Mark Leputa

(MarkLeputa)
This piece is titled as such because it doesn't have a base per say. It rocks around like a spinning top on its side and will never tip over or roll out of a certain area without the help of an outside force.
