Corning Museum of Glass, five possible projects (plus one):

Glass-blowing (again): Pumpkin--orange with a few red spots. I like it!

Fusing (again): Clock. Okay, two clocks.
First: night sky with Milky Way (very successful) and Orion (should have done white stars, not blue with yellow shoulder like the online pictures), with green face (red or yellow would have been better). Good but could be better.
Second: Calico cat, as planned for a bowl. Eyes on face, using frit worked well. Orange frit a bit lighter than orange chunks, but that's minor. I like it!

Glassforming: Flower--white with blue edges and green stem. I like it!

Flameworking: Pendant--white base with black and red swirls. (Should I have stuck with the blues and purple?) The most hands-on of all the projects, and the most satisfying to do. I like it!

Sandblasting: Drinking glass--sea creatures around the top edge, then a line around and vertical lines in the ripples. I wanted cats and/or rabbits, but they didn't have those stickers. (Almost wishing I'd done a bowl instead.) I like it!

---------------
New glass (fusing) projects that I'll probably never do: a set of astronomical bowls--black background, white stars--Big Dipper, Orion (again, better), plus two out of Milky Way (again), Pleiades, crescent moon.
