Greetings, Mike, from Las Cruces, New Mexico! We visited your home studio many moons ago and ended up buying two wonderful pieces. We still treasure them, and they are even lovelier in the bright sunlight of NM. Folks here wonder how they are done - now we can show them your videos. John & Verne
"A GOOD LIVING" Pretty darn huge distinction, from not buying a nice car or chips and dip on the weekend, to not having a roof over your head and essentially saying ggwp to life.
In life's 'imaginary' race, we somewhere forget that good living is all about great life... I found peace and serenity by just watching this man work and listening to him... 🙏🏼thankyou so much for bringing this vid up.. I am from India and not a frequent traveler but one thing I know - people are treasure.. Mr. Mike Tonder you are a treasure... thankyou so much for sharing..
"I dont know if I can make a good living, but I can make a darn good life." what a wonderful man, those are some wise words of wisdom, happiness should always come before money
I love glass. There is something pure about its translucent look. Nothing to hide. Always thought that if heaven was real it would be like glass. I love the fact that money isn't the focus for his work it's the love and pleasure. Thank you for sharing this video😌
"i don't know if i can make a living, but i know i can make a darn good life." this is one of the best quotes i've ever heard and i go by this now that i think about it i love the thought of acting but my mom says i would need a side job so i can make enough money but to me it doesn't matter i've always cared about the fun in acting and how you can teach people with this amazing power in the end all i want and to give is a little fun
Mike Tonder does awesome work! The best way to find out more about him & the glass he uses is to visit his website: Blueskiesglaswork.com. Thanks for the kind comments!
It's strange, the pieces look a lot like pictures from electron microscopes. The soft undefined edges and abstract shapes just look like those images to me. (I've been spending too much time looking at EM pictures obviously)
Two Harbors isn't a city lol! It's a tiny little town on the isthmus of Catalina island, about 26~ miles from Avalon, which is the only actual incorporated city on the island. Two Harbs population is mostly bolstered by Yachties and the conservancy. source: worked on the island for many years/frequented two harbors all the time - my profile picture is actually me on the island like 3 years ago.

"i dunno if i can make a living, but i can make a darn good life" great motto for any artist
This deserves way more liked and views

Lovely!! Glad I landed here.
Fantastic creations!
The sandblasted glass looks fantastic! Awesome work!
Thanks
Hats off to you sir, keep it up with the good work. You are indeed a great artist as you have talents & creativity & I like that.
"i don't know if i can make a living, but i know i can make a darn good life."
That's quite the warning to young artists to say the least.
broke but die smiling
"everything you want" except food and a roof.
artist need to hype themselves to create value.. they need to standout! everything is just hype
Fun fact: 99.9999999% of artists cannot make a living doing art.
Enjoyed watching your creativity! I'm so envious of this. Wish I had the resources to pursue this medium. God Bless!
I was an industrial glass cutter for 15 years, these really are a work of art.
what a unique artist. so inspiring! keep up the amazing work.
Thank you.
Wow!!! What a great talent...keep it up Mike.

"i don't know if i can make a living, but i know i can make a darn good life."
this is one of the best quotes i've ever heard
and i go by this now that i think about it
i love the thought of acting but my mom says i would need a side job so i can make enough money
but to me it doesn't matter
i've always cared about the fun in acting and how you can teach people with this amazing power
in the end all i want and to give is a little fun
Thank you to everyone who took the time to watch this video. I can be contacted directly at mtonder@blueskiesglassworks.com
Wow, this is such a beauty!! You are extremely creative!
I love his work! =D It's so beautiful!
This quote personifies my impression of him ....don't know if I can make a good living but I can make a darn good life...impressive
Thank you.
Mike, dude, you are an amazing artist, I’m getting on your website after this tutorial. Fantastic stuff
Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing this.
simply beautiful.
TY used to do leaded stain glass, miss my teacher and love, may do a piece in honor someday.
The Bob Ross of glass!
Matt Williams: Now, if he could make a happy little tree out of glass...
Any artist knows your lucky to make enough to carry on.....and feed one's self....:( good work.....looks great.....
Thank you.
Just fantastic. He's so talented.
Thank you.

Очень красиво и оригинально!!! Восхитительно 👍🏼
"I don't know if i make a good living, but i make a darn good life.. " nice fella ...
Thank you.
Very impressive statement: "once you have your skills and you got your tools, there is allways something you can do"
"Once you have your skills and you've bought your tools there's always something you can do." I like that.
Just beautiful 😊
Thanks.. Nice approach.
That's a really interesting medium. Everyone has seen a million wood carvings chiseled out but very unique to use glass.
beautifully done!
Thanks. Great artist.
The softness in his voice. Damn.
Did you use a kiln to fuse the glass pieces to make one piece? What a cool process! What an awesome art form. Thanks for sharing!
Oh be still my heart!!!! Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!! Good life...
Oh my
How beautiful
Beautiful man as well

I get the notion that Glass in all its artforms, is going to be big in the coming years, moving forwards to the Age of Aquarius; the Golden Age.
Wow impressive designs
Thank you.

Wonderful!
I love it nice work

You should try to add led lighting build in your glass creations, that would be even more awsome. Beautiful work though!!!

Ty for sharing
Two Harbors isn't a city lol! It's a tiny little town on the isthmus of Catalina island, about 26~ miles from Avalon, which is the only actual incorporated city on the island. Two Harbs population is mostly bolstered by Yachties and the conservancy.
source: worked on the island for many years/frequented two harbors all the time - my profile picture is actually me on the island like 3 years ago.
Also I'm an asshole - this was really cool! This guy does some awesome work. Keep on keepin on dude.
Pretty sure this is in Minnesota...
Michael Gunther it is in Minnesota. few miles up the shore from Duluth.
magnificooooooooooo.
Guys pretty inspirational
