A white person (me) with brown hair, a goatee, glasses (with clip-on shaded lenses flipped up), and a black and yellow shirt smiles as they sit behind a lit torch with rods of glass arrayed on the table in front of them. The flame of the glass torch is blue.

A very small kiln full of very tine glass figurines, including a lot of slugs and some fried eggs

I've been hella busy moving the past while (and also forgetting to post on here) but I finally got back on the torch yesterday and it felt so, so good. Eternally grateful that I can work out of CAFAC while I'm in the process of setting up my new home studio

A very small furby made of glass in swirled light pink, light blue, and white. It has one pink foot and one blue foot, and one pink ear and one blue ear. It is held between the pointer finger and thumb of a pale hand

This furby says trans rights are human rights

A smiling white nonbinary person wearing a bicolor horned hat (neon green/black), a high viz jacket, a knit sweater (bright green, light grey, dark grey, and a black crew-neck shirt. They have a bushy brown goatee and other scraggly facial hair (the beard is still working its way in), a messy ponytail, a black septum ring, silver framed geometric glasses, and a silver bridge piercing.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! I'm here, I'm trans, and I've got my hi-viz on! Things are scary in this country right now but I am still full of joy because I am alive and surrounded by fantastic queer community, and I know that trans people will always exist.

A small green glass creature vaguely in the shape of a weed leaf. It has beady black eyes and is held in the palm of a pale pink hand

First attempt at a little weed leaf guy. Didn't quite work but is still very cute

#glassart #weed #lilguy

I think it was Loki's lipstick actually! And I swirled it with a very diluted sparky that I mixed with clear so there's some sparkles in there too (and also why there are so many bubbles)

Thanks!

Thank you!

These'll be earrings once I anneal them! Def gonna make more in more colors too

Thanks! I'll work on some examples I can make consistently to photo for a cat listing and try to get it up sometime this coming week

A tiny red and yellow glass cat with green eyes stands in the palm of a pale hand. Its ears are yellow and its tail and legs are red and the tail is standing straight up with a lil curl at the tip

Here's a fiery little kitty! My work can be found at www.samaelleopoldsullivan.com/shop.html (I don't have any cat-specific listings yet but I'm happy to add one). This kitty went in a surprise box already tho.

A tiny glass creature full of swirling colors (yellows, oranges, blues, greens, and a little purple) with beady black eyes stands on a linty black surface. It looks like a picture of Jupiter with how the swirls are going

This lil guy is positively planetary (and is in a surprise box headed to oddmart at the end of this month)

Have fun!

Adults do too! Most of what I teach, aside from summer camps, are mainly adults in the class. I love that sushi house idea!

It is really fun to see how they bring their own artistic style to the process!

A baba yaga hut made of hand sewn fabric and needled felted wool. The hut is brown/grey/green and very rustic looking and the legs are sheep legs instead of chicken legs. There is fluffy white/tan wool for the belly and dark brown for the legs. It stands on a yellow velvet pillow

Feeling sad and stressed? Stab some wool a bunch of times to make sheep leggies for a little sewn cabin. It'll help (at least a bit)

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks! I'll def post about it if I make more!

A stained glass piece held by a pale hand in front of a warm white background. The glass is all clear and the solder lines form an image of cross-crossed power lines being held up by a power pole. The solder seams are shiny silver

Sometimes an idea won't leave my head until I make it, and this is one of those pieces. Pondering making the next one in a pennant shape and making a whole string of them. Inspired by powerlines and based off a pic I took.

We do! I'm glad you like my art! It sounds like you do a lot of cool things too!

Thank you!

A donut-shaped lil guy made of borosilicate glass. It is peachy-orange colored with four top teeth and three bottom teeth. It stands on little legs and the hole in the donut is its mouth. It has shiny black eyes on top of its head

A new lil guy shape has emerged

#glassart #donut #lilguy

I did! I have a little torch setup in my studio. Thanks!

It's ok!

Lmao hello! I believe you have tagged the wrong Sam here. This is a very cute thread tho!

A jaunty lil guy made of glass. It is shaped vaguely like a long-necked dinosaur, its head cocked to one side and the tail in a delightful curl. The glass is yellow on the head and tail then transitions to a creamy orange and eventually red/purple in the belly and legs. It has shiny black eyes

The back side of the jaunty lil guy made of glass. It is shaped vaguely like a long-necked dinosaur, its head cocked to one side and the tail in a delightful curl. The glass is yellow on the head and tail then transitions to a creamy orange and eventually red/purple in the belly and legs. It has shiny black eyes

I'm very pleased with this jaunty lil guy and how the glass color struck in the kiln!

I've taken the train from here to out east several times! It's very chill and nice, highly recommend if you have the time for it. Someday I wanna take it west. Long-distance busses are less fun but also work in a pinch

She looks so incredibly smug 😂

A white person wearing a very cool cardigan sweater gives a thumbs up in a mirror, cell phone covers their face. The sweater has green borders, dark grey body/sleeves, and a light grey yoke with big green and dark grey cat eyes (two eyes on chest, one eye each shoulder, two eyes on back). The sleeves have thumb holes. The glass buttons match the green border and are shaped like little cat eyes with dark grey thread as the pupils. In the background in the mirror is the interior of a yarn store

A close up of the front of knit cardigan sweater showing one of the green and dark grey eyes (on light grey background), Green borders, and green eye-shaped buttons held on with dark grey yarn

I finished my sweater! Made up the pattern as I went, yarn is bluesky woolstok, and I made the buttons out of boro.
