I finally managed to photograph a portion of my glass work from college. While this by no means a comprehensive collection of my work, its a pretty decent representation of how I liked to work.

For a little background I blew glass at Bowling Green State U. for two years, or 4 consecutive semesters. My main focus was organic art glass with odd (and sometimes unfortunate) color combinations. However, I did like my glass to keep a certain level of functionality, if not in practice perhaps in form. I haven't been in a studio for over a year now and I dearly miss it. Once I am gainfully employed where I have financial stability I will take up this art once again.

But enough chat, here are the pictures:

Some excellent pieces here, yakimushi.
I appreciate the chromaticism, but I am attracted even more by the forms themselves.
Thanks!

That is some very impressive work, always wanted to take a class but they took it out of school here because everyone was making pipes.

I'd pay a few hundred for something as nice as that.
You could go commercial now, man.

Beautiful work, Chihuly...oops! I mean yakimusha.

Fremen, you are too kind by far. If I ever achieve even a tenth of what Chihuly has accomplished I could die a soulfully satisfied man.

Everyone else, thank you very much for your compliments!

Those are some awesome pieces there, it'd be awesome to have any one of those as a centerpiece, or even a conversation piece...

When you get back into it, enjoy it and keep the master works coming..

Awesome work! The pieces look like they'd be a lot of fun to make. I think the sixth one is my favorite, it reminds me of a humand bloodstream sort of. Thanks for sharing all your work!

skier

I would pay for the six one. I don't suppose you're willing to sell?

While I greatly appreciate the sentiment, I cannot sell these at this time. I'm not producing right now and these kind of hold some emotional value.

However... if I start producing again I'm sure I will have pieces for sale. When, who knows?

Again, thank you all for the kind comments.

Great job ! You're very talented.

amazing work yakimushi! It's so nice to see something else than drawings and paintings in the art section for a change. I can imagine that working with a material such as glass is very difficult?
