sheep - one has a crazy eye, but he was my first so i don't mind - besides it gives him character

Very cool. I guess you can do pretty much anything your imagination comes up with eh? Must be fun to try to test the limits of what you can do!

well - pretty much but molten glass is quite tempermental, for like the frog - if i'm building up, i have to let the rest cool a little but if i let it cool too much it'll crack and the little hands are hard cause i have to make it molten again to make detail.
I really love the challenge though and the more hours i spend at the torch, the better i will get.
 
Interesting, but that definitely makes sense!

Do you use any specific type of glass? I have loads of scrap glass that I don't really what to do with. If you're interested, PM me and we can maybe work out a deal that might be good for both of us. It'd be better than me throwing it all in the garbage!
