One of my very early sculptural pieces — a huge, heavy Doom-inspired monster pendant packed with character.
Made with Teal, Mint, Cobalt, and Pink, this piece was an early experiment in pushing beyond simple pendant shapes and trying to build something more creature-like and dimensional. It came out much larger and heavier than most of my work, which honestly just adds to the monster feel.
The sculpting is raw, exaggerated, and full of the kind of weird personality that comes from figuring things out directly at the torch. Definitely an early Kraz Glass piece, and a cool example of where my character work started.
