kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 01/05/2026A potted Hoya plant in our yard just bloomed. the cluster of fuzzy red flowers are amazing. Hoyas are fascinating houseplants. #plants 391
kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 25/04/2026In the garden today I got a halfway decent photo of a poison dart frog, these little guys aren’t native but they are very photogenic and shy. #frog 070
kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 23/03/2026a fun new piece I made coming out of the glass kiln. Please don’t touch the walls of the dimensional vortex. #glassart #stainedglass #art 1170
kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Trying something new in my fused glass mosaic art. I am pretty happy in how it came out With some fun use of negative space and a lot of personality. There is something called the Volcano school of art, it would fit right in. #glassart #islandart 1100
kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 10/01/2026Something experimental I made recently as a glass mosaic. the hole drilled at the top makes it easy to hang. #glassart #stainedglass 090
kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 23/12/2025Fun experimenting with tack fusing and some glass effects you cannot easily do with a full fuse firing. Before and after pic. #glassart #stainedglass 170
kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 11/12/2025A couple of fun glass pieces that came out of a recent firing. #glassart 1133
kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 17/11/2025An amber necklace made up using one of my glass pendants. Collaboration by artists can be awesome and in this case make excellent gifts. After all it is hard to be good at everything, but when people share the different things they are good at… magic. #glassart #glass #islandart 140
kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 06/11/2025Dichroic glass has two colors to it, these pictures kind of show off how the same piece can look blue or yellow depending on the lighting. fun design too, I should try that again. Made with “glassline” black. #glassart #glass #dichroic 060

kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 02/09/2025Here are pictures of my glass Pueo owl mosaic before and after lightly being (tack) fused together. This makes all the tiny glass shards into one solid piece and keeps the detail better than full fusing. #glassart #stained glass #islandart 4365
kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 27/08/2025Finishing up a small owl, glass mosaic. I will tack fuse it together (the only grout is clear glass frit). It has plenty of personality and will look great as a suncatcher. Used the native pueo markings, they have cool dark lines around the eyes. #glassart #mosaic 1232
kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 11/08/2025Took a casting class where you carve bullseye vermiculite board to make a mold for glass. Behold my mighty green glass doughnut. A important thing with casting colored glass is a little bit of color goes a long way #glassart #glass #Casting 1180
kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Nice picture of a Rainbow Shower tree in bloom. These are popular street trees in Hawaii and can indeed create showers of petals that are very cool. #plants #garden 050
kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 24/07/2025For all you Monstera houseplant fans, this is what it looks like in the forest and why it’s got that name. Please don’t plant outside. Pic from the Lyon Arboretum in Honolulu #houseplants #plants 140
kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 21/07/2025Just did a kiln firing, my most recent work. Plenty of personality so I’m happy with the result. Fused glass mosaics are really cool, I hope more people try it. Does require a glass kiln. #glassart #tiki 1141

It is felted, c30cm. Because of the permafrost burials so much amazing felt, appliqué, embroidery and textile art has survived. But I just love that a stuffie has survived ❤️ 312223

kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 12/06/2025They recently celebrated the 100th anniversary of art deco. I wanted to encourage all glass artists to do a google search for a great French master artist named Rene Lalique. He made amazing art and developed techniques still in use today. Random pic of mine for some color. #glassart #glass 180

kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 29/05/2025I took a class teaching a technique where copper wire is used as an inclusion. It’s always great to learn new techniques. There is room for innovation in glass and I love trying new things with the material to see what happens. #glassart 1121

kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 16/05/2025Testing out a new phone camera. This is a tiny landscape made with glassline pens and scraps of glass. As an artist I love taking small pieces of glass and seeing what I can do to make them look cool. #glassart 3441

kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 25/04/2025An unusual dichroic glass cabochon. The green colored layer crawled up onto the glass above it creating what looks like a green skin around an eye. Messing around with repeated firings can yield interesting results. #glassart 090
kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 23/04/2025A nice dichro cabochon that came out of the kiln last week up close. It would make a nice pendant. I probably should sell a few and see if they are popular. #glassart #dichroic #pendant 3160

kimo957.bsky.social @kimo957.bsky.social · 07/04/2025Ever wonder what is on the back side of a Moai? These pictures were taken at an awesome Bishop Museum exhibit a few years ago. I felt so lucky to see this life size replica in person. 0110
