This Dolphin sculpture measures w:7" x h:22.5"

 *Cracked and repaired with special glass epoxy.

This hand sculpted glass starfish was created by John Gibbons of Eureka California and measures about 7.5 inches in diameter (from the longest two legs across).

I try to capture the essence of the starfish in a tide pool. The starfish is created with the color pattern on the bottom of the starfish that gets magnified from the thick layer of optical clear glass on the top, making the starfish almost look wet. The pattern on this particular star is called Murrine, an Italian glass technique where I take a glass cane (long rod of glass) and cut it in cross-sections to reveal a pattern that mimics the natural texture of the starfish in the wild. People have also said that it looks like barnacles on the starfish.

This is a lucky marble that is about 2 inches in size and a wonderful charm. I start by making a four leaf clover with green and white glass into murrine. I use blue and white glass as the base, with clear glass surrounding the clover and leafs. I shape the sphere with a graphite mold into a perfect form.

I try to capture the essence of the tide pool in this optical and rainbow colored glass. The starfish is created with a bright rainbow color pattern on the bottom that gets magnified from the thick optical layer of clear glass on the top, the starfish almost looks wet. The pattern on this particular star is created by using the bottom cut offs from rainbow vases. I saved them for years and figured I can use them in my stars for a new kind of pattern.

This Octopus is MADE TO ORDER.

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  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.

These hand-blown glass light pendants were created by rolling the clear molten glass through several colors of powdered white glass and then powdered blue glass. It is then blown into a bronze mold called a pineapple mold to give it the pattern of bubbles trapped in the glass. After it comes out of the mold another layer of molten clear glass is put on top of the bubble, and it is blown and shaped by hand with wet newspaper to become a perfectly shaped shade.
