Davidl've been working on reticello recently and tried to layer silver leaf in between the cups (a good suggestion from Bill Gudenrath). The silver is beautiful and makes the blank super reflective. Some of this is lost as the blank is blown out, so l have to keep playing with it. Started this piece with a little struggle, loosing five canes on the second rollup, but kept moving forward for practice. Now, off to its new owner.

STREET ART UTOPIA<p><strong>Amazing Sculptures With Unique Creativity</strong></p> Sculptures have been around for a long time, but some artists take them to the next level. They go beyond the usual styles and create pieces that make you look twice, feel something deep, or even question how they were made. Using materials like stone, metal, or even unexpected objects, these sculptures turn everyday places into something that inspires us every time we walk by. Take, for example, the surreal floating rock sculpture, seemingly held together by nothing more than a rope, […] <p><a href="https://streetartutopia.com/2025/03/06/amazing-sculptures-with-unique-creativity/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">streetartutopia.com/2025/03/06</span><span class="invisible">/amazing-sculptures-with-unique-creativity/</span></a></p>

DavidI've been working on some more technical skills haven't used in a while. Got to do a few solo rollups and supio cups. Process is basically taking a glass rod and covering it in clear, then pulling it so it's a thin cane. Finally, I put the canes together and heat them so they stick together and be rolled up on a blowpipe and then I cut that roll up into supio cups that I gather glass over and blow out. It's beer challenging but fun. Some failures and learning, but the successes have boosted my spirits in this tough time. I really like the look of only using a few canes, rather than a large number for some pieces. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/glass?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glass</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/glassart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glassart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/glassblowing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glassblowing</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/glasscane?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasscane</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/glassrollups?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glassrollups</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/veteranart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#veteranart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/veteranart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#veteranart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/functionalart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#functionalart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/handmade?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handmade</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/selfmade?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfmade</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/vase?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vase</a>
