This was fascinating, John. I purchased one of the star fish you made for the Sacramento Arts and Crafts show in 2018. I love it! Your chandelier is amazing! Glass blowing is such a mesmerizing art form, and you are a true artist for sure!

wow! this is incredible! Thanks for showing me/us how to do this whole process. Went to look up how to make all this and was happy to see my local fave pop up with the goods!

Pendant has interest in the pattern as well as the color which is enhanced when lit in the dark. Surprise and variation hold interest while function is served. Beautiful piece of art.

Could you share the bit you used to make the hole on the large glass? I have a Le Verre Francais bowl (no hardware) like this and am terrified of cracking it while making the hole.
