Fired Up

....All I can say is that I hope she uses one of those aloe type shampoos.



Happy Sunday. I'll be back tomorrow with real glass info and more fun. http://www.StudioMarcy.blogspot.com

Fire Beckons

Fire beckons.
Sounds almost poetic, doesn't it? Well, if you haven't seen these gorgeous firepits made out of recycled steel, you might be missing out.

As a glass worker, you know how we work with flames all the time. Yes, I used to be scared of fire before learning how to make my lampwork beads, but you get over it after you've been burned a few times and realized that you'll be okay.

So of course, this fire pit has been beckoning to me. We already have a small outdoor fire bowl which is seldom used, but the combination of the design, plus flames plus the photo with the water is very enticing to me. It looks like a place I want to visit.

I found it in John T Unger's etsy shop. He is a full time artist using primarily recycled materials. Pretty cool. Here is an entire section with his artistic fire bowls.

I wanted to show you that I don't just live, breathe and think glass- I have a few flames on my mind too. And besides, I'm a pretty good outdoor cook who thinks those enticing swirly flames would be perfect rests for marshmallows, skewers and other flame cooked delicacy implements.

See you tomorrow!

The Devil Wears Glass

Meet Ozzie, who is a little bit devilish.  He's one of my little Valentines Day offerings.  

He's heard that chicks dig bad boys, so he's doing his best, although he can't take credit for the economy.  He does have his theories on who can be though.

Ozzie has a gift of flowers in his hands and is all decked out in his devilish type clothes.  I suggested that they might be a little snug, but he thinks he looks...well.....HOT.  

Ozzie is looking for love and hoping someone will adopt him and show him a little.   He figures if a glass artist adopts him, they'd have something in common- a love of fire and flames.
