Water מים.

In progress. Water inspired.

Green Glass Tumbler

Added green. Loving how the color becomes more apparent in the thicker parts. 
I would love to make more of these and perfect the shape. Reach out if you're interested in getting some!

Fused glass fun

Perfect addition to the growing glass menagerie, I mean, aquarium.

Blown pebble vases



I had some fun with the drummel on the bottom of the orange one, and some torch drawing fun with cane on the blue one. 

Striped and Curved


Seahorse

Pink and orange, sandblasted, coated with crystal clear to make it shine and ready for hanging.

Glass - blown clear and blue enamel

Far left will be worked again but these are shaping up to be fantastic editions to the blue/aquatic theme I've been working with.

Flower Paintings

This is a PaintNite creation, simple flowers (I did adjusted the flower type and 'liveliness').




It reminded me of another painting I created a long time ago. I adore the smoothe quality of flowers in contrast to the oh so solid vases. 

Sand Cast Glass

The sides are cold works to stand and add a compelling smooth polished side.

Untitled Sculpture (Sotah 7:5) cast glass

Sotah 7:5 tells of the Blessings and Curses ritual, which must be done in Hebrew. At the conclusion an altar made of stone and plastered with plaster has "all the words of the Torah'" carved into the plaster in seventy languages. The dichotomy of using stone, a relatively permanent material, and covering it with plaster, a disposable material that needs to be reapplied often, compelled me to think on ideas of permanence and impermanence in Jewish thought as well as the implication of retaining 'all the words of the torah' on such plaster covered stones. Further reflection also questioned the permanence of language and text, finally returning to define 'permanence' itself, sometimes as unchanging or flexibility to change. These thoughts fueled the creation of a glass stone, a simultaneously fragile and long-lasting material, engraved with the phrase " all the words of the Torah".
