A Chat & Some Tea..

Once again it’s about time I posted something.  Every day I visit my favorite blogs of women (mostly) that put something up that is relevant constantly and I love to read them.  I guess I don’t have that much to say.  That doesn’t sound like me.  But…

This glass piece sells in the gallery constantly so the image must resonate with others as it does with me.  This is my little mare that passed on last year and one of my favorite images of her was this.  She always had a bird or several sitting on her back and I know they had plenty to visit about, so why not some tea also.

The cutest puppy in the whole world!!

Her favorite thing-snow!

 

We had a wonderful spring snow and Mija was in doggie heaven.  She’s not looking forward to the warmer weather of summer, although the creek is OK…

Dolphin Mirror March 2009

It’s really hard to get a good photo of a mirror.  Either you get a weird background or you get a photo of yourself taking a picture.  Nice…Here I sat on the ground and got the sky, somewhat overcast. 

This mirror goes into a bathroom of a woman that has lived in Hawaii and loves ocean things and flowers.  26″ x 40″

Time to get it together….

Where have I been and what’s going on that I cannot seem to keep up on this site?? Lots, even tho I feel life coming back to me I guess it’s slower than I think.  I am getting used to a transition time and liking my time alone, after 34 years in a relationship sometimes things grab one in am unpredictable way.

The glass is still happening although since I must support myself it definitely is aimed at salable items.  This valentine happened in February and sold quickly and that shows exactly where I need to direct my work these days.  So, onward and I promise to update more often..

New piece for fall

This was a fun piece with pattern bars and little painted pieces etc.  The color is not true as it is an emerald green background, but you get the picture.  My fav metal man did a super job matching the table to the lamp I think.

SPRING HAS ARRIVED

I’m so excited about these new pieces and they are way fun to make…

This is what I did this week..

SAND, SODA, & a TWIST of LIME

I have been invited to participate in a Colorado glass artists show in the Canyon Gallery in Boulder and created this piece to show what I am up to these days.  It looks to be a really nice show and i’m proud to be a part of it.  Always exposure is good and showing with all these folks is special.

Magless Project 2008

The Warm Glass board did a fun project that I took part in consisting of making 125 magnets without the magnets, hence magless.  I chose to do mine trying out various paints used in glass.  125 pieces of anything is lots even if they are only 1.5″ x 1.5″ big.  I did them in batches of 6 using the same color combos for that many.  I did learn lots about the different colors and how they worked with each other…

 

Finally a new post and project…

It’s been a while and I forgot how to add a post…Umm I guess I need to do this more often.

 I did finally finish my self-portrait for the warm glass site and am happy with it but already I see things I would change.  This was a challenge putting together previously fused pieces into a tack fired whole.  I played with many different kinds of paints with different fusing temps, frits that I use often and a cast small heart.  Loved the project and hope to do more soon.

Something for the Season

Turning out some new work, actually a design I came up with for 2006, but a new twist for 2007.

Another little piece I’m working on and can’t wait to get new paints I have ordered to brighten up the leaf pattern……

 

 This I call Leaf Dance and the leaves are stenciled on with coral frit, but I think they need a little more punch so maybe some paint airbrushed on instead of or with..I do like the colors at this time of year.
