I am always experimenting and looking for new things to make that are utilitarian and aesthetic. The vase below was a fused disc slumped over a stainless steel mould. It does hold water and it does stand up despite the 'over slumping'. It actually looks like a flower opening its petals when it is right way up. I have another disc ready to slump and am hoping it will be far less top heavy.
More successful is the tea pot stand (trivet) above which is picked up and commented on by lots of people every week. However, at $40 it is something someone will have to absolutely love for it to be bought. That price is about break even given the brass border cost almost that. Even if it is not bought until nearer Christmas that's okay as it gets people to stop and look at all the other pieces.
