    Lovely glassware Mrs Shiney,:gnthb: I had visions of a large kiln out in the back garden but now see that you go to workshops to do most of the stuff:D While we were away last month we visited a glass works and I took no end of photos of the couple at work and the process of turning a blob of moulton glass into a vase etc:D

    My eldest sister is good at craft work,the only one in the family who is talented like that,can even do pottery stuff:DThe only two things I am any good at is gardening and photography so not completely useless:p

    Mrs shiney also does flower arranging and here is one she made yesterday.

    The plants are all from the garden except the pine cones. Apparently it's called a 'continental' arrangement. :scratch:

    What a talented lady Mrs Shiney is.
    I just love all her glass. Very saleable.
    Thank you for posting the pics.
