New Damselfly & Mishap
IMG_4133

I have two new Damselflies, I’ll get pics up ASAP. I made 4 but only two survived, I also cracked a really nice dichroic fish, where all the fins were dichro. Ah well, happens. I think I need to check the temp on my kiln, it may be running too hot. The tails on the damsels drooped in the kiln, so I had to gently reheat and straighten them.

Damselflies

I made this this morning before work, and just took it out if the kiln. I've been struggling for a while on making dragonflies, and today it all fell into place! Moretti Glass with green dichroic wings, 5" long.

Moretti Spider, I made a few of these and this is the best one. About 2.5"

Beetles

I've spent the last 3 days trying to make some beetles and spiders and finally have some that came out pretty well. The spiders are a real bitch to make, and I need to work more on technique. These are all made out of Moretti glass. More pics in the gallery.
