Handmade Silver Glass Penholders

[glassmaker]

After a year out of action due to a motorcycle accident (bad deer = dead deer) I finally have my glass furnace up and running again so I decided to make some glass penholders. They are in my StrikingColor Etsy shop (https://www.etsy.com/shop/StrikingColor) now.

Those are nice! I am glad to hear you are back up and running.

Glorious stuff Brad.


Do you have a tutorial on how these are properly made?


There is something sensual about them.

It's a neat technique that looks like it would lend itself to other forms.

Thank God you're ok and it wasn't the other way around!! The pen holders are gorgeous! Way to make an entrance!

With Memorial Day weekend fast approaching I've decided to have a holiday penholder sale. From now through June 1 penholders will be $25 with flat $5 shipping for any quantity. Buy one, shipping is $5. Buy 10 and shipping is still only $5 total. (Actually, if you buy 10 I'll give you free shipping and probably a quantity discount too...)

I'll add more of them to my StrikingColor Etsy store (https://www.etsy.com/shop/StrikingColor) as I have a chance to photograph them and put together listings over the next few days.

This one is coming to keep mine company! :D

Glad to see you playing with glass again, Brad!

Can we see one with a pen in it so I can get a size perspective? They are beautiful. I should have said that first! Glorious colors and I'd vote dead deer over dead you any day of the week. I'm glad you're doing better.
