Watching the process of James making this egg 1 year ago I was fascinated by the process and blown away at the finished result. I am now the proud owner of Creation and it has an amazing quality of appearing to be lit from within and in sunlight it is mesmerising. James is a genius.
Thank you. It looks perfect in your house with the cherry blossoms in the background. It was lovely to have met you and it's always humbling when, out if the infinite things you may have chosen, you picked my work for your home. Thank you x
You keep referring to others as “Professionals” maybe because they’ve had traditional training, but you are a Professional. Your work is so unique and incredible!! Thanks for sharing the entire process with us.👏🏼👏🏼
I hope your beautiful sculptures last way after we are all gone. It will leave future generations wondering. 🤔 who was this magical man “James Parker?”
This egg is so beautiful. It's amazing what ordinary glass becomes in the hands of an artist. Watching how ordinary glass is made into such a beautiful egg was fascinating. Thank you for sharing.
James I’m in awe of your wonderful work. It’s a pleasure to see your approach to working with these different mediums. The colour and light of the egg in situ was fabulous. Thank you, what a talented lad.😷❤️😷
Hi mate very nice to see you back we love all your Sculptures especially the glass cone .we love elephants can that be possible. Fantastic and very interesting video loving it please stay safe mate.👍🇬🇧🤘🍺
Thank you for sharing this with us James! This is a beautiful piece of art, and looks wonderful in its new home. Please continue taking us on the journey with you!
i watched this intensity when you showed it the first time and was totally amazed at how intercut it was and seeing the video again and still have pulse raised please keep your calling for your work and we get to see the light on the world with your design
What kind of bonding agent do you prefer, UV glue, silicone, or something else? I'm sure you know too, that using oil with your cutter also prolongs the life of your cuter.
I love how meticulous you are with your work. It makes me feel good to know I'm not the only one to double and triple check my work before I hand in a finished project.
Just a note to stay in touch. I hooe you and your family have been on holiday for at least a month! Also, I can't wait to glimpse your newest creations!
It’s such a pleasure to learn the details of how you design and carefully, safely, make your art. For me, understanding a bit more every time I watch one of your videos helps me appreciate your art all the more.
I found this fascinating. How beautiful it looks with the light passing through it. I am sure the woman who has it is thrilled every time she looks at it. Thank you for showing us how you create such a wonderful piece from glass. I admire your talent and creativity. 👍👍😁❤️
Yet again, totally captivating stuff. Not saying the rain put me off but doing a bit of work in the garden but it very quickly became fiddle to the opportunity of gleaming an appreciation of the complexity of the process.
Absolutely stunning. You must have the patience of a saint to work on these wonderful sculptures, making sure they are so perfect. They look spectacular and well worth the time taken.
So glad it has a good home! As I was watching this video, my mind starts to go places of the , either impossible or too difficult, place and I was mulling to myself, how great a slate piece would be of a horse or a horses head. I am thinking in the style of my favorite sculpture, the dancer. I wonder what that would look like in your head.
James, I appreciate watching your development as a sculpture. Your presentation to the camera is developing as well. Well done my friend and greetings from Maryland, USA
Well. I watched this video from start to finish and once again it was fascinating. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the progress and hearing the news that it has found a new home. Lucky Lady. Congratulations James.💯💯💯🥚🍒🥚🍒🥚🥚
Hi James I'm a huge fan of your brother and he recommended your channel and I'm so glad he did I'm as obsessed with watching you as I am him I'm incredibly creative and watching you has helped me expand my glass sculpting and painting so thank you you're amazingat wgt you do
Your Egg Sculpture is amazing! Truly inspirational. You didn't mention how the glass pieces were bonded. Just FYI I use A-1100 Amino-Silane Solution Adhesive Pre-Treatment and HXTAL NYL-1 Epoxy Adhesive when bonding glass and need an optically water clear, super strong bond. Loctite AA 349 UV Cured adhesive works well with clear glass too. Hope this helps and please keep up your excellent work!
You've gained a new subscriber here. Yes I do come from your bro's channel because of the recommendation he gave, but I find myself so fascinated about your craft, beautiful works of art, and how you do it. You also explain the process well and have a very calming voice. Looks like I have another list of vids to binge watch now lol.
Thanks James. Really enjoyed your explanations. Your sense of your work is dynamic and insightful. Love the way it is a beautiful sculptural form but also a means to play with light. That you create beauty out of ‘scraps’ is wonderful too. Do you remember the plastic bag dancing in the wind in the film American Beauty? And the symbolism of the egg adds another layer again. So pleased it found an owner who understands and appreciates your work and your gift.
@@jamesparkersculpture of course- because you have the ‘eyes to see’. Perhaps that’s why I fretted a little that the eyes needed protection. On the other hand you have insight- and that is safe from glass shards. You have a calling James don’t you.
James I pray you and the family have come through COVID-19 with flying colors I know it’s not over yet I pray it’ll be over soon and maybe maybe things can get back to normal I doubt it I love your show God bless bye-bye
Fascinating to see the process. A heck of a lot of work for sure...but how the light travels through the finished piece is brilliant. Is that thickness of glass as thin as you can go?
I would be interested to see when you have a failure. Maybe a flaw in the glass or dropping a segment. Does weather play into your sculpting? How do you revise a design?
Hey James, love your channel and your art. Wondering if trying to get arches instead of circles wouldn't be more efficient use of space taken from the glass panels?
Thank you for showing your work process in your videos. So much thought and calculating must go into making your lovely sculptures. You make it look much easier than it is to be so precise! Would you share what you use to fix your glass layers together?
Hi James, Beautiful work, curious as to how you keep the glass from sliding around and getting out of uniform. Also, glass is pretty heavy. I'm wondering how were you able flip the piece when you get to the halfway point?
How are you not sobbing in a corner from pain every day? I knit/crochet on occasion and my hands are battered and need rest every 15 mins. Do you Epsom salt soak every day?
Happy Easter James to you and your family. The egg sculpture is such a lovely, tranquil piece. I'm curious what the difference is in feel and temperament is between the glass and slate. Is one more "forgiving" than the other?
What a beautiful piece of art! Really love how the light reflects in all those layers. 😍 Seeing you making this glass ornament makes me think about the huge glass layered ornament that stands in my city Zwolle, the Netherlands. Maybe you've heard about it. It's the archangel Michaël. It stands in the city centre. The glass were it's made out of stands as a square in front of the hospital. You can clearly see the contour of the angel cut out of it. Maybe also an idea for you? So you have a positive and a negative sculpture? I put the wiki page link down below. It's in Dutch, hopefully it will translate to English. nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glazen_Engel

This egg is my absolute favorite of your sculptures.
Thanks Victoria
Totally agree Victoria. Its utterly magical 🧙♂️👍
Do you ever illuminate them from within? I think that would be incredible to see at night.
Ahh James, perfect video for Easter Sunday! Better the 2nd time around! Happy Easter you and your Family, stay well also! K.
Happy Easter, I love how you spend the time to show us how you make your pieces James, looking forward to more great works of art.
Happy Easter. A beautiful piece!

I'll never get tired of watching these videos. Patiently waiting for your next one!!!.....
The process is almost as amazing as the finished piece of artwork.
What a meticulous process and gorgeous end result. I was transfixed from start to finish.

Very nice, well done!!!. Do you have a video on how you bond the glass...excellent work!!!
Thanks Wilhelm. I'm afraid not - sorry.
I never tire of listening and watching you create stunning sculptures. It's fascinating and inspiring. Thank you.
New to your channel because of Graeme’s referral. Your work does not disappoint and I’m amazed at your incredible talent. Truly a gift.
What kind of bonding agent do you prefer, UV glue, silicone, or something else? I'm sure you know too, that using oil with your cutter also prolongs the life of your cuter.
Lovely job James hope you and the family are well we are finally seeing some normality round the corner at last ❤️👍🏻
Beautiful work, James. Captivating. Thanks to your brother, Graeme, for alerting me to your site. Best regards from Vancouver, 🇨🇦 🌸🌿 Judith

Such a talented family, that for sharing your life with us.
How does the glass stay together!?
The " EGG" is gorgeous
Very interesting!! That tool you use to crack the glass is fun to watch. (Easily entertained) But the whole process is interesting!!!
Good morning James, amazing the light coming through is brilliant. 👍🐺
James, just checking in, I miss seeing your magic. I hope you and those you hold dear are healthy and happy.👍
Absolutely stunning. You must have the patience of a saint to work on these wonderful sculptures, making sure they are so perfect. They look spectacular and well worth the time taken.
Thanks a lot Jack.
Beautiful. I so enjoy watching you put your ideas to form. I love the display of the egg in the home! Thanks for sharing.
So glad it has a good home!

Nice to see how the sculpture is made. But I still wondering, how do you fix the pieces of glass together?

Beautiful as always James. One can appreciate the time and labor it takes to build one of your sculptures. 🙂❤

All good - Thanks Fred. Hope you are too!
Hi just came across your channel what a gorgeous piece you made very talented well done 👌
The whole video was fascinating and the sculpture is mesmerizing!
I absolutely love it!
Very nice piece!
Thanks very much Gary. Much appreciated.
Love it! This is so awesome! (Im here because of your brother Graeme! Love The Hoof GP!)
Thank you!
Understandable, of course. Thx for your response. Best to you.
This is truly inspiring, to those who want to work in glass. Thank you.
Love the glass!
Good James, aye, complex work to create a simple form. Clean work sir!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing. Makes me want to take my windows out and cut them up.
I love your work, I admire that your channel doesn't have overpowering, cheesy music, and how you narrate videos by enunciating your words. THANK YOU!
Thank you. Delighted you enjoy my videos.
Absolutely beautiful sculpture.
Many thanks!
Fascinating to see the process. A heck of a lot of work for sure...but how the light travels through the finished piece is brilliant. Is that thickness of glass as thin as you can go?
Fascinating and beautiful.
Hoof GP mentioned you were his brother, so I thought I’d check out your sculpture video. I found it Very interesting and your sculpture is beautiful.
Glad you took a look! Thanks Rebecca
James ur skill is fantastic
I am a new sub now
Are u related to that wee git that trims hooves from Scotland 🤣😂🤣 keep up the fantastic work ✅
Just stunning
I love it! You have such talent. Gorgeous work! Thank you for sharing with us.
Just amazing,really interesting to see the process. I am intrigued as to what you use to stick the glass together,it must be some kind of epoxy resin.
Your Artwork is SUBLIME. I was in awe the whole process. I would love to see how you bonded the glass together. How did you do it? Stay safe & humble.
I would be interested to see when you have a failure. Maybe a flaw in the glass or dropping a segment. Does weather play into your sculpting? How do you revise a design?
Utterly beautiful ❤your so very talented ❤
Thanks Karen, that's very kind of you.
This is amazing!
Thank you very much
Hey James, love your channel and your art. Wondering if trying to get arches instead of circles wouldn't be more efficient use of space taken from the glass panels?
Absolutely gorgeous! New subscriber here.
Thanks a lot Mark. Great to have you aboard.
Could you cut glass using a CnC machine?
Thank you for showing your work process in your videos. So much thought and calculating must go into making your lovely sculptures. You make it look much easier than it is to be so precise! Would you share what you use to fix your glass layers together?
Thanks Brenda. Glad you enjoyed it. I use a few techniques - please forgive leaving a little mystery 🙄😉
Love you work
Thank you so much 😀
lovely
Hope all is well with you, James. Have enjoyed your posts.
Thanks very much Robyn. Good to hear that. All good thanks - wish I'd had more time to pick the camera up . I'm sure I will do soon.
@@jamesparkersculpture just when you’re ready 🙂. Thank you for replying. Good to know all’s well. 🙏🏻
Hi James, Beautiful work, curious as to how you keep the glass from sliding around and getting out of uniform. Also, glass is pretty heavy. I'm wondering how were you able flip the piece when you get to the halfway point?
Sorry - I think I said in the video. I rebuilt bonding each piece. I picked it up and flipped it over - yes it is heavy!
Your work is incredible and if I may ask. Is this how you make your living? I can only imagine the fees paid for your work
You are so intelligent and talented. Your brother's aren't bad either. Lol
Thank you 🤣
After Chelsea gets started, would you post a picture of your entry for us to enjoy?
Hi Stephanie, of course I will!
29:19; that was deep dude...
How are you not sobbing in a corner from pain every day? I knit/crochet on occasion and my hands are battered and need rest every 15 mins. Do you Epsom salt soak every day?
😂 I do certainly feel like I've done a long day's work when I go home each night and the effects of many years working with stone!
How do you secure this sculptures? is it glued together?
I use all sorts of methods of fixing and sometimes none at all.
Oh, have you watched any of Robert's videos? You know, your other brother. He's got the gift of gab, to be sure. LOL!
Hey Stephanie. I've watched them all! He certainly has. Clever guy too.
Happy Easter James to you and your family. The egg sculpture is such a lovely, tranquil piece. I'm curious what the difference is in feel and temperament is between the glass and slate. Is one more "forgiving" than the other?
Amei! Pena que é muito distante. Gostaria de ter uma com certeza.
Thank you. I ship worldwide 🌐
