This is literally the first face pendant I ever made — one of the earliest experiments that eventually helped shape the style of my character work today.
Handmade from borosilicate glass using Aqua, this little face has a ton of personality packed into a completely one-of-a-kind design. The exaggerated features, expression, and raw shaping really capture that early stage of figuring out how to turn glass into something with character.
It’s not a polished modern piece — it’s a genuine piece of Kraz Glass history, showing where the face pendants started and how much the work has evolved since.
