Exhausted from a day of accomplishing nothing, so I hoisted myself up and went down to the studio to clean up the snowflakes that fired last night 🌨️❄️

Six blue glass snowflakes

Also fresh out of the kiln (kinda — I overloaded it this firing cycle and the big monstera leaf on top of these deflected enough heat to stop them from fully melting, so they've all got to run again)

Fused glass snowflakes in blue and turquoise and a green lily pad and frog in the background

I suuuuuuper hate this and hope whoever came up with it stubs their most sensitive toe every morning for the rest of their lives

Alllllmost worked out how to make these little animal crossing pendants — the antlers are too fine for the machine, so I'll have to add them by hand with liquid enamel

Also realizing I've slowly become an amalgam of all the old ladies from that episode

Cheerfully fiddling around with glass while *gestures wildly at everything* has helped me understand Tilly Hill so much better

Three King of the Hill moments: Cotton is yelling "I'll help you with your dishes" while smashing them in the sink with a chair; young Hank asks "Mom, what should I do?"; Tilly is dissociating and dusting her miniatures

Another experiment I'm still tinkering with: glass night lights! 🌾🦩🌾

Frustrating: it's significantly cheaper to buy mason jars new rather than used through FB marketplace etc (because people reselling their junk are insane) More frustrating: Amazon lets me buy only three packs at a time and puts me in buyer timeout for a few weeks every time I do

Amazon page saying quantity limit met

These little flower pendants turned out cute 🌸🌺💐

I am already prepping my Katav bullying for MFF 😈

She got on my lap for our usual morning coffee and pets. Then her pupils got wide and she entered kitty madness to play-fight my petting hand 🙃

Preferably with you standing in front of it like this

As a regular wearer of a big head, I approve!

This pendant turned out cute 🐾

TOO CUTE, GONNA BITE

Tofte @tofte.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Do not ❌: approach me from behind Do ✅: give me small buckets of carrots, lettuce, and apples

Written on a board are house rules. Visitors are asked not to approach the alpacas from behind or feed them any food they brought along. Guests are instead given small buckets with carrots, lettuce and apples.

This one turned out cute 👻💜

Ok, since folks have asked, I'm going to open up two slots for fused glass fursona ornaments like the ones pictured here. $250 base price, 3.5" minimum diameter and 6" maximum (upcharges for certain colors or design complexities), to be completed by November. DM if you're interested!

While the kiln is going, I cleaned up the wet saw I bought from the nice old glass lady who's retiring and trimmed some pride pattern bars I fused last week (this is one way to create fine detail and repeating tiles for larger projects — when you want to use them, you just cut them into slices) 🏳️‍🌈🐻

It's like a witchcraft box designed for my specific flavor of ADHD!

Tofte @tofte.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

New experiment today (alongside a bunch of other stuff in the kiln): layered stencils with glass powder (step 1 of 5, so it'll be a couple weeks until I can see the final result)

Really??

No results for M.R. Ducks

I don't know who you are, fabfelipe, but your pinups of Rude Dog and a hundred other 80s/90s cartoons made me smile

I adored Rude Dog aesthetics as a kid and I'm pretty sure I still have this VHS, which my parents got me from the $1 video bin at a pharmacy

"Use e621 to measure how obscure a piece of media from my childhood" is a game I love playing

One of the benefits of having zero information in your tg profile is that these scam accounts are so transparent 🙄

I am no such thing, you take that back

He already knows it's coming, so have a preview of a glass @setrahn.bsky.social (the other five friends currently in the kiln have to wait until tomorrow to see :3)
