The Glass Horse Pendant Tutorial

I love to create this very litte horse pendants but they are a formidable challenge
and so I am able to do not more than one or two of them on one day. Then I have to go back to other sculptures and figurines because my eyes are to tired then for a third.

I will list some of my recently created horse pendants within the next days, but if you have fallen in love with these little beauties, you can here also take a commission and tell me what color (it can have more than one mixed and marbleized in body and mane) or what posture it shall have (in this case, please send me a photo). So you will get your stunning OoAK jewelry.

Please note this:
Glass can break but normally not while you wear it, because ist ist not nearly as fragile as it seems and your soft skin will also protect it. But it will not resist falling on hard ground or any grinding (so please keep it seperate from stone- and metalljewelry.

If you keep this in mind, your little horse has a very good prospect of getting very, very old.

length of pendant: 0.7 - 1 inches (nostrils to tip of the tail)

And here we go....

Welcome , Willkommen, Osiyo, Bienvenu...

So now I am here, show you my work like I would do on every market and in every school I visited in the last years and will answer all your questions as long as I can. I am on Deviantart now for some time and very fresh on Etsy  and enjoy both communities there. I have found good friends and so much support I want to give some back. So this will be my first blog in english and I hope you will enjoy it.

I started working with glass in 1998, lived and learned glassblowing in Lauscha, a really small Town in the Thuringian Forest who became known for its glassblowing. You like to decorate your christsmastree with glass? The baubles were first made in Lauscha, Germany, by Hans Greiner  who produced garlands of glass beads similar to the popcorn strands and tin figures that could be hung on trees. The popularity of these decorations grew into the production of glass figures made by highly skilled artisans with clay molds. (source for further information wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_ornament)

I have worked with glass for nearly twelve years. And I am still at the surface. I am a softglass artist from Germany, so please excuse when my english is not always perfect. I am getting better and will not be offended, if you correct me from time to time.

2003 I started my own business.
2005 I graduated as a masterglassblower.

I love to work massiv, combined with stone, wood, bone and other materials nature provides.
