I’ve been doing a lot of glass casting lately. Here’s one of the new small finished pieces with some prisms faceted on.

From hot glass to cold working. Grinding and polishing an array of prisms into this sandcast sculpture. #castglass #glassart #sculpture #prism #glass #coldworking #optics #face #art

which is kind of why i recommend taking a class if you have them available to you, so you'll know what kind of coldworking stuff you actually find interesting enough to invest in. there's a LOT you can just do with good nippers but those are $80+

My coldworking bias is making me think What if you faceted some of them?
Which is admittedly a lot of work, and probably requires equipment you don't have. So, maybe a useless suggestion.
But...mmmmm, facets. Faceted gems in the hoard.

Gonna be playing a bit of catch up on posting, BUT this was my first time using powdered frit, and also signing my piece with coldworking afterward
Also, this was a HUGE improvement compared to my first vase! 🤣

Made sometime between 1968 and 1970, this odd little “student machine” is yet another quirky typer.
Took a bit of elbow grease, sewing machine oil, and a little coldworking a few typebars, but it has come back to life.
