glass raccoon

So here is my trashy glass raccoon. I think the photos give it justice. The main reason that the butt if fur is because I didn't measure the glass correctly to the mold so it never filled all the way, hence there being no butt. I had to compensate by making it out of fur and stuffing it with paper towels.

The body of the raccoon is hollow and it was supposed to be filled with light to illuminate it, but the light I had was very BLUE and it was too unnatural and the second light source I had died right before the critique started. Bummerrr! It's ok though, at least the overhead light worked ;)

Besides that, I hope everyone's enjoying themselves as the weather gets colder, brrr!

Thanks!

I Love Glass Art!

I wanted to start this with my favorite work of art yet. I took this summer class: Kilnwork:Glass with Sayaka Suzuki and it was amazingggg! She's on of the best professors I've had so far!

This was an open project. The only requirements were to use sheet glass and for it to be at least 2 ft. This came out to about 3 ft.

The back of the glass is sandblasted and it was put together screws only and the eye is a rubber stopper!

The saddest part about this is that the minute I brought it home to put it on my wall, my roomate's cat, Pookie, jumped on it when i was getting a nail and the front have shattered.....(my first explosive angry episode of my life). Pookie is lucky that my roomate was home.
