Brezel!

I've been baking in the evenings when the sun goes down and it's only 88 degrees out. Day Baking is forbidden.

But I just couldn't help it when I found an awesome pretzel recipe. So the rules were broken. I recently made a batch of pretzels from scratch. They were amazing. Of course, when eating pretzels you must drink beer so I washed it all down with a bottle or two or three of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

So I've had this amazing opportunity to do some glass fusing a few weeks ago. I've been working in a friend's studio and have learned how to cut, sand, and design glass. A kiln is used to fuse the glass, then it is shaped using a mold. The results are always a bit different but I like that.

Here are my first two pieces.
