8'2" x 22" x 3" v.Bowls with a pintail borrowed from my Sherbert template.Utilizing the powers of the real oldschool teachings de Gregg Tally along with some lovely pastels to give a little extra flavor.  Abstracts weren't done in the glass back in the day; they possess this other-worldly depth that you can't get when done in the lam. Real acid splashes are the go for me at the moment:This is the feel I'm feeling right now.I'm so madly in love.and...

If I had to pick a place to be 7 days a week, this would be it.  My little slice of heaven; a place that I can build whatever I want, whenever I want...Magical!She may not be a shining example of organizational mastery, but everything is within reach and is never too far away if lost...  10' x 16' of shaping bay, laminating room, sanding room, and showroom, all rolled into one.  It may not be delux but I'll be damned if I don't always have a handful of...
