Fan Art: Journey

My first attempt at fan art, other than glass, is of my favorite video game, Journey, by thatgamecompany. They also make Flower, Flow & Cloud.

Whenever I am feeling particularly down, I play this game. The music and visuals are so beautiful, and the game play is not like any other game I have encountered. I always feel better after playing.

Bit of a hold up…

Just before my last post, I fell at the studio and fractured my right elbow (specifically my radial head) and then… I got a really bad cold. Knocked me right out. But I’m feeling much better now (I think I’ll go for a walk! LOL). My daughter will be assisting me until I can use my right arm again to cut glass, etc. and the key chains are a perfect little project to keep me going until then. I’ll make a little video about them and post it when I can.

Keep calm and carry on. :)

Key chain tests

I am testing the wiring for the key chains for my Indiegogo project & Desert Bus for Hope.

The green has copper wire, which is easier to work with, but I will need to double up on the loop to make it sturdy enough for everyday use.

The nickel-chromium wire on the blue one is fine as is, but it’s stiffer when bending. I will try one more test firing with doubled copper wire to make sure my keychains will last!

(As a little bonus, the keychains have an alter-ego as a pendant)

Today in the Studio, 2/25/12

A little rearranging and clean up, Donald and I decided on where major things can go, like the desk, the large glass storage, etc. Now to work on the little things…

Gearing up

I’m joining forces with other local glass artists to make a big order from BE. I’ve placed other orders for molds and things and I’ll be ready to go when I get in my studio.
