Knowing my history with sculpting faces in glass, you just KNOW that this was something that had to come out of me. Why do I say that? Because every time I sit down to try and make faces it is very disappointing and I usually do not choose to go there.
It had been a while since I’d been in the studio due to those dang taxes. Happily I can say that my side of getting them done is pretty much finished. Whew. I only had a couple hours on the torch and rather than being able to sit down and play, I had to work on some prototypes for a customer. Not really fulfilling, but at least I was sitting in my studio, ya know?
Near the end of the time I had for torching I felt satisfied with what I had needed to get done and this guy called me. Seriously, The glass was moving in a sculptural kind of way and I knew it was ideal timing to try and make a face/mask. I had hit the sweet spot where the glass was flowing, not going too fast and I was comfortable working at a slower pace.
So, there he is. I am thankful that it wasn’t wasted time and encouraged to make more faces if the urge should arise.
