I made a couple dry versions for myself before I took 10yrs off back in 1999. in 2015 I had been traveling aimlessly for a couple years and broke down in Waco, Tx. One day while sitting in the lobby I saw a childrens book about a octopus who traveled among the coral reef never sleeping in one place. Without going in-depth it reminded me of what I was doing and thought why not do a octopus to symbolize my living behavior. 6yrs later still doing them and enjoying it. I started on 2021 reducing how many I made until a couple years from now I’ll only do 1 per month, ending once I get to #710. Everytime one exchanges hands on secondary market 5% go to coral restoration. Faq: What are the standard colors?
A: Black , Black Mathe, Ruby Red, Blue Dream (like my fav flower), Rust, Serum (CFL), Terps (Seasonal), Cotton Candy (Seasonal), Lotus Whit’s (Rare)
You're truly inspiring, I'm just beginning my journey in glass. Starting out with Marbles now getting some basic techniques, and also pendants. I live on the Coast here in Humboldt Ca so I want to learn how to make some sea critter.
I absolutely love your story ❤️ it is really inspiring. Love the work you do!!!!
Love that you were inspired by a childrens story😊
