Murrini Monday roundup October – December

The last day of 2018 seems appropriate for posting the last of the Murrini Monday round up postings!  Murrini Monday was my 2018 resolution.  For it, I created a new murrini (glass rod with a pattern inside) each week and posted it every Monday over on my Instagram account.   For those that don’t follow over there, every 3 months I post a round up here.

Murrini Monday has been awesome, the goal for me in making the resolution was to set a regular appointment to go get on the torch, create designs and to hopefully improve my skills.  Posting gave me accountability.  It accomplished that and more, gave me new goals and a new love for this form of glass art.  Here’s the final 3 months of this year-long project!  There’s some fun ones in here, my favorites – Salvador Dali’s face, 3 faces of Brrrr (the grey faces, supposed to be  guy that is cold) and the red and white dove for Christmas.  Decided to end with doing the thing I enjoyed making most this year, eyes.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year and prosperous 2019!!
