Day 7 of the challenge asked that we be creative and make a tool to move the glass powder around the sheet glass. I looked around and all I saw was a box of q-tips and some tools I already use for working both hot and cold glass, not very creative. Today's sketches are a close-up and a landscape featuring sandpipers, trying to include their reflection in the close-up. Both were inspired by my husband's photo of shore birds at Mayport Beach in Jacksonville, Florida.

To create my glass drawings I used two sifters, q-tips and some wax
carving tools from harbor freight. The q-tips were perfect for creating
the soft edges of the breaking waves. The shaped heads of the wax
carving tools were great at moving the powder but when you tap the glass
the powder has a tendency to jump slightly.
