I've been hella busy moving the past while (and also forgetting to post on here) but I finally got back on the torch yesterday and it felt so, so good. Eternally grateful that I can work out of CAFAC while I'm in the process of setting up my new home studio

#fireart #glassart #artistselfie

A white person (me) with brown hair, a goatee, glasses (with clip-on shaded lenses flipped up), and a black and yellow shirt smiles as they sit behind a lit torch with rods of glass arrayed on the table in front of them. The flame of the glass torch is blue.

A very small kiln full of very tine glass figurines, including a lot of slugs and some fried eggs

This furby says trans rights are human rights

#glassart #furbyart #transpride #smallsculpture #queerartist

A very small furby made of glass in swirled light pink, light blue, and white. It has one pink foot and one blue foot, and one pink ear and one blue ear. It is held between the pointer finger and thumb of a pale hand

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! I'm here, I'm trans, and I've got my hi-viz on! Things are scary in this country right now but I am still full of joy because I am alive and surrounded by fantastic queer community, and I know that trans people will always exist.

A smiling white nonbinary person wearing a bicolor horned hat (neon green/black), a high viz jacket, a knit sweater (bright green, light grey, dark grey, and a black crew-neck shirt. They have a bushy brown goatee and other scraggly facial hair (the beard is still working its way in), a messy ponytail, a black septum ring, silver framed geometric glasses, and a silver bridge piercing.

First attempt at a little weed leaf guy. Didn't quite work but is still very cute

I think it was Loki's lipstick actually! And I swirled it with a very diluted sparky that I mixed with clear so there's some sparkles in there too (and also why there are so many bubbles)

Thanks! I'll work on some examples I can make consistently to photo for a cat listing and try to get it up sometime this coming week

Samael Leopold-Sullivan @sleopoldsullivan.bsky.social · Mar 21

Here's a fiery little kitty! My work can be found at www.samaelleopoldsullivan.com/shop.html (I don't have any cat-specific listings yet but I'm happy to add one). This kitty went in a surprise box already tho.

A tiny glass creature full of swirling colors (yellows, oranges, blues, greens, and a little purple) with beady black eyes stands on a linty black surface. It looks like a picture of Jupiter with how the swirls are going

Have fun!

Samael Leopold-Sullivan @sleopoldsullivan.bsky.social · Mar 6

Adults do too! Most of what I teach, aside from summer camps, are mainly adults in the class. I love that sushi house idea!

It is really fun to see how they bring their own artistic style to the process!

Feeling sad and stressed? Stab some wool a bunch of times to make sheep leggies for a little sewn cabin. It'll help (at least a bit)

#fiberart #needlefelting #softsculpture #stressrelief #babayaga #smallsculpture

A baba yaga hut made of hand sewn fabric and needled felted wool. The hut is brown/grey/green and very rustic looking and the legs are sheep legs instead of chicken legs. There is fluffy white/tan wool for the belly and dark brown for the legs. It stands on a yellow velvet pillow

Sometimes an idea won't leave my head until I make it, and this is one of those pieces. Pondering making the next one in a pennant shape and making a whole string of them. Inspired by powerlines and based off a pic I took.

#glassart #stainedglass #powerlines #conceptualart

A stained glass piece held by a pale hand in front of a warm white background. The glass is all clear and the solder lines form an image of cross-crossed power lines being held up by a power pole. The solder seams are shiny silver
