Glass birds by Vittorio Costantini
This past weekend I attended the International Flameworking Conference in Salem, New Jersey. I stayed with one of my Alfred friends, a former classmate and glassblowing partner. Some of the highlights were watching Vittorio Costantini, Eunseuh Choi, and Micah Evans demo their techniques, seeing a couple familiar faces, and watching two bald eagles fly overhead.
And! Paul Stankard complemented my implosion flower pendant that I was wearing and I totally geeked out. He asked if it was soft glass, I told him it was boro, and he thought it showed a level of delicacy not often seen in borosilicate implosion work. Thanks Paul!! I'm flattered! :)
