Week 3: Happy Birthday, M!

This weekend, my friend M brought us all to an art studio where one can work with glass and ceramics. She's very creative, and we all had a lot of fun making things. I wish I’d gotten a photo of everyone’s work - flowers, abstract art, fireworks!, an adorable Pac Man ghost, a fancy cereal bowl, and more great things. We have to wait a bit for the people at the studio to fire our projects, so it’s exciting to anticipate how everything will turn out.

I decided to make some fused glass jewelry. A pair of cuff links - the letters in the SF Giants logo are separate instead of overlapping, in case there’s any loss of detail. Some pendants. And, it’s super dorky, but the one on the bottom left is meant to represent Boron, a component of some glass! The dichroic glass kind of looks like chunks of boron, and the copper loops on the left are a p orbital.
