I generally don't make "parts" for people but this was a Christmas present for my baby brother.  He likes skulls and squids.  Yeah, NOBODY has one like this.  It was so crazy hard to make 8 tiny legs in a one color design squished up like that.  Oh yeah, and I did it carving with a dremmel.  Come on!  Seriously check out those suction cups.  I worked so hard at getting the 8 legs in that the one guy has nine legs, HA!  Now I need a casino to commission me, yo!

No seriously?  Two and a half months?  I can't believe it has been that long since I have blogged.  Well, I wasn't lollygagging.  I'm working on a commission... wait... did I say working?  Ha ha.  I have been in my shop playing all day and will continue as long as I can find ways to feed this addiction.  We're in the home stretch here and will give you some close ups when it is done.  You know I say my work is poop before it is grouted.  Not only that, there is still a great deal of glue, blood, and sharpie all over it. 

 

I am so excited, I can hardly stand it.  There's going to be a "crystal ball" and some magic dust.  And yeah, I think you'll like my signature tile for this one.  Oh right, and a VIDEO too!  This will be the first video of my fused glass mosaics so you will see how things get leveled and inlaid into the substrate.    Found perfect music too.  Yup, got permission.  I wish everyone could be this excited to get to work Monday morning.
