Internationally-renowned glass artist Robert Carlson recently spent one week as the Artist-in-Residence at Tacoma, Washington’s Museum of Glass Hot Shop. Here, he worked with the shop’s artists and interns to create the next line of imagination: 10+ orbs of glass weighing from 5 – 25lbs, each unique with twisting sculpted tentacles and bulbous knobs and hooks. They now await to be adorned with color.

After my adventures with bee-keeping, I spent an afternoon this fall harvesting 20lbs of fresh honey from my hives. I could have collected more, but the honey they gather throughout the spring and summer becomes their food surplus for the cold fall and winter months ahead. They were already pretty pissed, as one can tell.

Working on a video project with a surfboard shaper, I decided to grab a quick shot of the man in action. And the board he is shaping will be shortly in the water under my feet.
