Because the last post was about glass Pegasus I thought I would show you a flying unicorn I made. This one has been sand blasted to make it frosted then coated with platinum, which gives it a strange gray sheen…
Glass Flying Unicorn
Now normally it seems there are two types of unicorn, these are the Seventeenth century unicorn (lions tail) and the modern unicorn (horses tail). I’ve made some of each, so below are some pictures. The yellow metal is gold. The pink one is caused by applying gold, which is fired in a different way.

This next unicorn has a lions tail:

Here’s the pink version:

The last unicorn in to days post is a spun glass one, again the pink is created by using gold.

Oh go on then, here’s an extra standin crystal clear standing unicorn. I’m so generous:-)

Remember until next time: A wise man never plays leap frog with a unicorn.
Possibly Fairies or Dragonflies next time … we’ll see. 🙂
