This marble is made on a torch that reaches a temperatureof 5000 degrees Fahrenheit. I am wanting to get back into making glass on the torch so I have been practicing with these small marbles. This mushroom marble is created by stabbing a small rid of colored glass into a molten blog of clear. The color liquifies and mushrooms inside the molten glass.

This small starfish cluster is a hand-sculpted glass vase made with a lattice of starfish surrounding a clear glass bowl. Each starfish is hand sculpted without the use of molds, making each sculpture unique. The vibrant colors draw you into the depths, while the thick layer of clear glass make the starfish appear as though they have just been pulled out of the ocean. 

This is an extra small Starfish Cluster made with extra small starfish. Compare to the next size up in the last picture.

It measures about 5 1/2 inches wide x 6 1/2 inches tall.

This hand blown glass octopus is an earthy amethyst tone speckled with smokey blue and copper. It measures about 10 inches wide and 8 inches tall with sinister eyes.

This item is currently out of stock and made to order. Please allow 1 to 2 weeks for recreating.

This pair of dueling octopus is struggling to rip open a footed aqua blue blown glass bubble. John heated the vessel's top opening to make it appear that the octopus' legs are pulling it apart. The color of this octopus pair is a speckled magenta. 

It measures about 20" wide x 8" height x 7" deep. 

The Octopus Tug-of-War sculpture is a combination of three separate pieces of glass, fused together with a 5,000 degree torch. This sculpture requires the assistance of two highly skilled glass artists to create. First, John sculpts each octopus and then puts it in a holding oven with the help of an assistant. Simultaneously, his other assistant is gathering the glass and blowing the vessel. John finishes the vessel, then takes the octopus out of the oven and reheats it to a precise temperature. The octopus gets so hot that the legs flop around, so he has to attach it to the vessel quickly, fusing each leg with a 5,000 degree torch. 

This vase measures 9.75 inches tall and 8.25 inches wide and is part of my Vertigo Series. The amber and white tones create a very neutral color scheme.

This hand blown glass vase was created by layering several colors to create an earthy green, and then blowing the molten bubble into a bronze mold. The mold separates the color, trapping a clear bubble in the center. This creates the illusion of eyespots, similar to the tail feather of a peacock. In each eyespot there is a clear glass lens that magnifies the pattern of this perfectly symmetrical vase. 

This vases measures about 14 1/2 inches tall and about 5 1/2 inches wide.

This vase is made to order. Please allow 2-3 weeks for recreating.

The "Rainbow Drop" blown glass vase is an optical rainbow vessel comprised of two opposing spirals of color. 

This glass vessel was created by first rolling up colorful rods of glass over a bubble and then poking a hole in the side of the bubble and placing a new blow pipe in the hole. Turning the bubble causes the spiral to go from the bottom to the side. Then the bubble is blown out and flattened with large thick cork paddles.  Finally, the glass is heated and the neck stretched out.

It measures about 7.5" width x 2.5" depth x 14" height.
