Going in with @chris.hennelly on some crimps before he leaves town for South Carolina and moves to Ireland. These aren’t perfect yet but feeling accomplished after some good progress. Thanks Chris for being a good hooman, friend and fellow tool nerd.

A few new dragon eggs I made the other day. It can feel strange to make pieces and to try to advance techniques as an artist these days. The excitement and sense of accomplishment hits different with everything going on, and one of these eggs I consider a top 3 favourite I’ve ever made. Anyone else feeling like this? I want to thank @thanetateglass and @davewilderglass for the help and company while making these. Thanks to Mike and Colin as well. And to my boy Keith @everything.is.process for the chromatose inspiration. #glass #handmade #dragonegg #dragon #handblown by @chris.hennelly

Here's the little fox I sculpted the other day. I am still fairly new at sculpting glass, and this is my first time making this little fox I was imaging after a trip to Ireland recently. What do y'all think? I'm excited to see how this series evolves.

As part of my day sculpting, and as it's the last time I may see him in a long while, I had my boy @thanetateglass give me a refining lesson on wings, as I think he makes the most beautiful glass wings. I still see things I want to do different next time, but these were fun!!

Spent the day sculpting new ideas with my buddy @thanetateglass ! This little fox is the first of many to come. Stay tuned to see how she looks out of the box tomorrow. The true colours will show when they are at room temp. 🤗 Can't wait to meet her!! #glass #giftideas #handmade #sculpture by @chris.hennelly

Easily one of the coolest things I've ever made. Forged out this dragon themed display stand for my good friend @chris.hennelly. His glass work is phenomenal and I'm so happy he gave me an opportunity to work on this project. This type of work is out of my usual wheelhouse but I'm very pleased with the results. #Blacksmithing #blacksmith #dragon by @chris.hennelly

I am having so much fun making snails. This little dude has been one of my favourites. With his large spikey shell but barely peaking out and looking quite timid about everything. 😍 by @chris.hennelly

Started sculpting cute snails as therapy. 😂 they are fun to play with their forms and personalities. #glass #handmade #cute #snails #giftideas by @chris.hennelly

the first time blowing glass at my friend's new studio @denton_glass_station . This egg has the most subtle shifts from red to purple. 🐲 ♥️💜🤩 #glass #handmade #handblown #dragon #dragonegg #giftideas #got by @chris.hennelly

Watch yourself, this one is very shifty! Looks rather minimal at first but has some seriously incredible colour changing abilities with lighting shifts. ✨🤩✨ This took some tries to get after a consult with the colour ninja, Heather aka. @spiewackattack, and a discussion on setup with my boy Keith @everything.is.process. Big thanks to @thanetateglass & @glewis3399 for the assist!

Exploring new colour combinations and applications is a lifetime of play. Having a friend who is a glass colour wizard you can consult with always helps!! Thanks to Heather (@spiewackattack ) this egg has been born into this world. Thinking about calling it the Spiewak special 🤩 also thanks to @thanetateglass and @glewis3399 for the expert assist! 🙌 #art by @chris.hennelly
