I'm always wary of waxing too lyrical about the cool stuff my friends do, primarily because it always seems a bit trite and annoying, but I have to point you at Kate's final project. Kate's only just starting out on a career in artistic glass, and but she's already making things I love.

I wish I had the money to commission her to make cool stuff for me, although that would also require that I have somewhere to put all that cool stuff. One day, maybe.

Oh, and her blog is cool.
