A kiln full of stars.....

There are some really good stars in here! I fired them last night and opened up the kiln this morning. Also a prototype for a wreath and a snowflake...we'll see if they are any good. These stars are a labor of love, for sure. We'll see if I get any faster at them. I can cut and prep about 7-8 an hour-not very many if you ask me, but they are soooooooooo pretty!

Gotta run, Keelin's speech therapist is here!

Let it snow!

A pretty card from a new Etsian......you can purchase this card at http://thecardbasket.etsy.com All the items are handmade. And if you like the snowflake, let me know and I will make you one in glass!

Hope you all are well-it's lots of glasswork over here!

p.s. Keelin's speech therapy is going very well. She continues to use new words and be more understandable every day. Go Keelin!

Funny Faces.....

OK, total post and run-we are all still recovering from the stomach flu.ugh. These pics were taken Monday, pre-sickness. Keelin wanted to make all kinds of faces for the camera-here are a few of the many I took. She wanted to see each one on the monitor after I took the pic. She got a great kick out of that!

Enjoy!

A tree is born

Here is my latest endeavor, a sculptural tree....this guy is the prototype and I like it! THe tree measures a full 15" from base to top. Wood construction on the base and the tree attached with a metal rod. The glass is latticed Bullseye and Uroboros COE 90 opaques and transparents. There will only be a total of 11 in this series once all is said and done, and two to three are staying with me-it looks great on my mantle.

So 9 for sale. I am planning on doing reds, greens, oranges, and possibly some blue....will see what mood strikes me when I lay down the glass!
