Site of my fused glass life
Month: June 2012
Better …
I’m starting to have slightly more reliable results with my new glass techniques, but still struggling with consistency (- although, I AM getting better at working in the dark with light-sensitive materials and glass. I only cut myself 3 times tonight!) … We’ll get there, but here’s what I have for now: On an upbeat …
Yeah, but …
The cool stuff is coming!!! I have successfully survived 48 hours of being out in the A.M., with the rest of the DAY-Walkers, without spontaneously combusting. I never said I was happy about it – cuz, I’m not. I feel sick … big virus, hit by a ‘Mack-truck’, worse than any HANGOVER* sick. My rhythm’s …
I think I ‘misthunk’ …Doh!
And it’s slowing me down. But – better safe than sorry. I was just about ready to run my ‘mosaic’ and frit coffin load when it occurred to me that I might want to full-fuse the bases to the tops (of about 1/2 of them) BEFORE I ‘tack fuse’ (a little hotter than that, but …
I’m on VACATION!!!
A working vacation, but still … As I sat yesterday morning, nursing my after-work ‘night-cap’, DH [lovingly] said, “You look tired.” And it’s true, I was – physically tired. But mentally, I’ve been creating list upon lists of things I want to get done, should get done and NEED to get done over these next 2 weeks. …
The calm before the storm …
So, the kids are officially on summer vacation. They’ve ALREADY started talk about things we should do, buy and partake in to ensure they’re properly entertained this Summer … Oy Vay! This started right after I asked them to remove the 80 pounds of back-packs and school papers from my counters, couches and stairs. At …
Slight detour …
Spent the afternoon putting together a ‘lil scrapbook … all dye-sub style. We have yet another Doc leaving us, and I needed to let her know she’ll be missed greatly! Yesterday I was cruising along pretty well with putting together my mosaic load … a couple of rose plates: And an iridescent patriotic night light …
Must have needed it …
I slept 15 hours. Hmm – I must have needed it! WWU: Summer busy, without the pretty weather. Nothing major, just lots of volume, and a little full-moon-crazy thrown in for fun. But – I did discover ‘Cabbage Crack’ – and I’m in love … OK, so it’s officially called Napa Cabbage Salad, and yes, …
‘Date Night’ Report …
Date night was a success … But more importantly, the kids made it home safe and sound. They had a great, albeit cold and wet time at Cedar Point. I hung out in the studio most of the day, with DH popping up from his man-cave from time to time. He’s taken to calling the …
“Date Night”
The twins have reached another milestone … at least in our school district. Today marks the 8th grade field trip – to Cedar Point. This is a pretty old tradition (DH and I both went when we were in 8th grade … umm, CENTURIES ago!) But it always makes me nervous, the thought of my …
