thanks, apparently im color blind.
 
neko, VERY cool stuff, you draw characters so well. I can draw people, but I can't create my own characters worth a damn for the most part. I envy you!

ssssssssss... your work is AMAZINGLY fucking wicked!
 
Freshly made earrings:

The box as of now. When it fills up, I ship almost everything off to a store that sells everything in GA (Mel & Mimi's if you wanna buy any, or just message me :P). I made everything pictured except for the bangles (well, minus the jeweled ones which I did make), watches, and the two solid pearl necklaces.

Very nice!!
I want to start making my own jewelery with beach stones-
We have a lot of agate, jasper, quartz, agate and blah blah blah-
We recently got a rock tumbler to polish the stones- so I'd like to make wire jewelery with them :)
Hopefully I can learn.....
 
I want a tumbler! I find all sorts of cool stuff on our local beaches, especially after hey re nourished the closest one. What they do is pump tons and tons of sand from miles out into the ocean and bring it to shore to build up dunes and when they do this, tons of fossils and stuff end up in the sand as well. I've got a collection of stuff I wanna incorporate into jewelry but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Anyway, getting into jewelry is really easy and addictive! There are so many web sites and books on the subject and everything is easily self-taught. You can literally learn how to make all of the stuff in those photos within a few days' time which is crazy because you can end up selling it for lots of money despite the fact that it's so simple to make. It does take practice to get that "finesse" but not much :P

I actually started making jewelry in treatment when I was 17/18 years old. It was one of the only interesting things I found to do with my time and ever since then I've amassed this huuuuge collection of stuff. It's insane.
 
Wow this thread is full of talent! Thanks to everyone who posted their art!!

So here's some of mine. Been blowing glass for about 8 years now and it has impacted my life in some positive ways. Ill do it until Im no longer physically capable.

Hope you enjoy

O and all pieces are color changing glass. For example see first 2 pics below. Same pipe, before and after.

[its advised that you not give out your real email, people can PM you instead :)

Another edit... I'm sorry we had to remove your photos! Unfortunately there is a rule of no drug talk in SO, and those broke that rule... I hope you can find another place to post them though, outside of SO. Awesome work!

ocean, i LOVE your stones. the colours are vivid and gorgeous.

doshes; the beautiful patterns in your glass, wow!

mines not exactly artwork; but ive been fidgeting at night throughout the week with a number of pieces for my hall stand (that i love to decorate at times of festivity) to make our home feel a little more "easter-y". im blessed to have an almost 10 year old who still believes in the easter bunny (although think it might be our last year of magic); so still make the effort to keep the memories pure and fun filled.

the walt disney quote that my daughter adores. i made this frame for her.

Thanks guys for the positive feedback on my stones :)
I'll have to take some before and after shots of our next batch. We have some in so maybe I'll take their photos of "Half Done" and then when they're done. :)
 
oops looks like my functional art broke sum rules, sorry mods.

heres sum of my pendants, and a zen stone, from the last few years.
