Ooooo he is so cute, and I love the monkey too.

I adore the ojime rabbit, he's incredible. I can hardly believe that he's
made of glass, and not carved ivory. Beautiful.

OTOH, can I be the voice of dissent on the monkey/chimp thing? He's so
realistic that he scared me when he popped onto the screen. Please, please,
Tink - Please don't start making scary birds. I already have goosebumps on my
arms. (It's very strange for me to have a reaction like that to a photo)

Uh Oh. You must have read my mind. Parrots, specifically cockatoos,
are next on my to-do list.

To be honest, I started out trying to make a much more realistic
monkey than I ended up with. But he's sweet/silly and that's nice too.
You know how they say "The eyes are the window to the soul"? Well,
when I was making teddy bears, I discovered that no matter what the
rest of the bear looked like, I had a winner if the eye placement was
perfect. I suspect it's the same with figural lampwork. Even though
the little monkey dude isn't realistic, I think his eyes and
expression breathe a bit of life into him.

Thanks for the compliment! Maybe I should rate my sculptural work on a
Kathy Goosebump Scale. LOL!

Since there are things for sale on this page, I figured putting AD in
the subject would be prudent :-) But what I'd like is for you guys to
take a peek at my Ojime Rabbit on this page. I love him SO much!

Can we get a link to the WC thread that shows all the monkeys everyone made?
(please?)

Thank you guys! I really do love that rabbit. Did I say that already?
LOL! And I feel like I need to apologize for the latest batch of
photos: Thought I would try natural light, and it just didn't work
right for me. I decided to go ahead and put them up anyway, as I just
don't have time to re-do them right now.

All the ivory/sculptural work I've been doing is at least partly in
preparation for my upcoming Loren Stump class. This will be the very
first class I have ever taken. I am SO excited! Donna (my studio
wench) and I going together.

Love the rabbit! Beautiful! It reminds me of the mouse that Loren Stump
has in the Making Glass Beads book. He does other animals like that and
said they were very big in Japan. I know he taught Sharon Peters the dying
with the coffee or tea.
