Uh, holy crap.  It’s finally Christmas, which means i can finally show you the stuff i’ve been working on all month.

Here’s my favorite – the Bride of Frankenstein.  The clear is a really cool iridescent textured glass.  I was going to use red in the background, but my wife nagged me until i reconsidered.  I’m extremely happy with this.  I want to make another once i’ve got a ring saw, because i didn’t get as much detail in the face as i wanted, but, you know, tough titty.

These two i finished a few weeks back.  I’ve been trying to do a Creature design for quite some time, because he’s my favorite Universal Monster.  Hard to render in glass.  I found this awesome textured green that looks like scales that i just had to use.  I finally worked it out:

Then here’s the Maltese Falcon.  Yeah, i’ve never seen the movie, so i wondered how well it was going to turn out.  I’m really happy with it, i think it looks like old WWII propoganda.  I broke away slightly from my ’starburst’ background, which made my wife happy.

Then here’s another pair that i finished at the last minute.  I love the glass i used in this one – the sorcerer’s hat from Fantasia.

And this was a nice easy one to do, but it has a nice look to it.  The BMW logo.  I had to handpaint the letters on there (they’re silver, it’s hard to tell in the pic).

That’s all for now!  There’s two my wife did that i’ll post in another day or two.  I’m laying off the glass for at least a few days!

Hardly a day has gone by that we haven’t been in the shop working on something!  Between finishing our Christmas orders, and making gifts for people for ourselves, our fingertips have been cut and grinded to hamburger!

I still can’t really show you anything, but here’s a little 4″x4″ panel that i just finished.  Though i can’t tell you what it’s for.  I designed it using photoshop in a few minutes, using glass i had sitting around.  I like it.

And thanks to the ever-helpful Bill George over at Red Hot Planet, here’s another shot of my glass with a pin-up girl.  This is Kirstyn Indgjer.  What’s hotter, her or my glass?

Lastly, here’s an animated banner for anyone who gives a shit enough to link to me.  (Click this goofy black bar and it’ll take you there.)
