Florifying Moments

From molten blobs to sparkling masterpieces ✨
Spent Saturday at Canberra Glassworks!

Which is my kind of candy land! 🍭

Learned glassblowing facts, ogled stunning artworks, and soaked up every shimmer.

It was so much fun watching the show with my kid who now wants to "blow glass like bubbles!" 🤣🤩

Who says you can’t start a new hobby in your late 30s with zero chill and maximum drama?
I’ve been doing stained glass for 5 years, but recently decided to level up (or maybe just lose my mind a little) and try glass fusing.

It only took 6+ weeks, 3 electricians, and nearly hurling my brand new kiln back to Perth to finally get it working. But she lives!
This is only my second ever project fired in this machine. I’ve been experimenting with glass sheets, enamel paints, and firing schedules like I know what I’m doing (I don’t).

With the big 4-0 creeping up next year, I know this might look like a quirky little hobby that doesn’t make money… but for me, this is therapy with extra sparkle.

Moral of the story? It’s never too late to try something new, set things on fire (legally), and make a beautiful mess. 🥰
