These new ones are looking good too. Do you have some type of glue to hold all the tiny pieces together until it is fired Or do you just hope they don't move? How difficult is it to get the pieces to match, like same sized eyes and ears and features like that. Cool stuff, I Likee

thanks,
i use a special glue that dosen't leave residue when it burns off. as far as getting the pieces to match the smaller the piece the greater the difficulty. the glass will only cut so small before there are problems. the smallest necklaces are the most difficult out of anything, each piece is 3/16" or smaller and has to be placed with tweezers.

I love the surfboards
What might one of those cost as a pendant?
Thanks for sharing.

Hi everyone,
The pictures aren't the greatest. I just couldn't wait to share my newest creation. It is titled
"See No, Hear No, Speak No...Tiki"
It is a wall hanging with the main suooprt being bamboo. The tikis measure 4"x6". As soon as I finish the detail work and get some better pics I will post them.
-John

a candle dosen't illuminate these like the other tikis. with a 40w bulb though, they look awesome. the colors really come alive
i didn't want these to be that transparent as they were designed to be a wall hanging
-thanks, john
