Time for some national and international adulation! 
I'm full of cold after night shift so have to miss choir practice  but things have been brightened up by my sister dropping off my homemade glass Christmas decs
How talented am I?

  10. It took my brain sometime to get my head round the bird and even now when I look at it I see a flying dog first, I like the mouse with a snake up its arse in the bottom one. I like them a lot. Great to make up stories around them and the antlers are good. xxx

    Applause, applause! Well done, you! The glass ornaments are lovely and would make wonderful gifts to yourself or to others. I, too, especially like the snowflake one. Will you make more now that you know how talented you are at it?

    Hugs!

    Wow. I wish there were a place here that offered that service. It looks like it'd be so much fun to make (my sister, who has artistic talent, would smoke me, however) any time of the year. Good job!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Beautiful thingies. You can be very proud of yourself. Now you have found a hobby, perhaps? If you make more, I'll put in my order!

    ReplyDelete

  42. Are they fired after painting?

    ReplyDelete
  43. I would buy one of those pretty things!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Wow!!! They are so pretty. I love the effect that makes the snowflake 'arms' - do you blow paint with a straw to get that effect?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Add me to the international adulation. They are lovely!

    ReplyDelete

  52. Very pretty good sir. I particularly like the snowflakes.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I love them ! I would love to have a tree with only little lights and those glass ornaments. The cats would probably enjoy them too ~

    ReplyDelete
  54. I especially love the first one.

    ReplyDelete
  55. They are so neat!!! You've done a fabulous job of it. Does it make you feel like doing more of them? You would always have a gift on hand when needed, besides being able to sell them. Seems it must have been a relaxing diversion from the usual. Thanks to some of the comments and your replies, I've started my day with laughter!!! It's no wonder I'm a Going Gently addict.

  56. good job. and fun to do.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I would like to make some glass thingies, too! Your quirky glass creations look like they were fun to make. When I checked the link you posted above I saw in the studio's Dec 4th post a photo of your snowflake, and had a brief but pleasant thrill of recognition. It looks so much lovelier with the light shining through it in your own photo, though, John.

  58. They are beautiful - I wish you could have been making them on the Krustie Allslop Christmas craft tv prog - you would definitely win.
