Making glass totems with Pam





When I was visiting family in Ohio, I happened to see these class sculptures in one of the second-hand, artsy craftsy stores my sisters and I explored.  I loved them and decided I could make them myself and maybe make lots of money.  Ha ha to that of course.  I purchased some cool pieces in Ohio like a giant daiquiri glass and a beautiful gold plate that I thought was carnival glass but was not.  I was so excited to make these sculptures I ran down to the second hand store immediately upon arriving home and bought a few more pieces.  I was into this project about $10.00 and they were charging $30.00 for them.  Everyday for a while I would stack up the glass each time in a different way not finding what I was looking for.  The glass sat for three months and I was ready to take it all back to the second hand store when the project was saved by my friend Pam. 

She inquired, "What is all of this?" pointing to my table of glass.  I explained it to her and her reply was,  "Let's get started now."  So we did and here they are.  Cool, huh?
