I love this frame of mind … I wish I could bottle it! Positive energy, lots of creativity and productivity … Life is good! DH performed emergent, life-saving ‘surgery’ on Dear Old Grinder. She’s back! And with a new 1 inch coarse grit bit – we’re moving through glass like a hot knife through butter! …
We have (another) problem … While grinding away at my ornament pieces – my grinder died. Well – not died, exactly – but it’s terminally ill. Work slowed way down in the studio after that … So, I did some painting. Had an experiment flop. Played with photo manipulation. Loaded the production kiln with the …
So … it’s been a good week! I’ve been a busy little elf … prepping and cooking glass. FINALLY finished up some dichro cabs … ready for badge reels and photography. I’m also playing with some permanent-fuse decals that I’ve had for a while now. I like ‘em. And, I have the next batch of …

Getting closer to putting out some new bowls and badge reels … both kilns running as I type. Here’s the coffin loaded with a de-bubble run – future fall/Halloween bowls, a replacement ‘Caribbean’ and ‘Think Spring’ (vibrant, blooming-flower colors), and another large bowl (or maybe spoon rests …). And the production kiln – loaded with …
Played in the sister ER again this weekend. Amazing to me the difference a few short miles can make … different patient attitudes, complaints – general auras … Also got to do a little bit of what I do well … Had a severe respiratory distress patient who needed quick emergency care, and he got …
Sometimes you get lucky … and capture a pretty cool shot. At least for me, that’s what it feels like – complete luck. Is this not a way-cool picture? It’s my completed FAMILY sun catcher against a threatening Michigan sky … You can see the item listed in my shop here. I didn’t have to …
Sometimes they work … sometimes not so much. But I’m compelled to keep trying – to the annoyance of my bank account and DH. New mold, new bottle bowl. I like it, but will continue to play with it to get more relief (so the design shows off more) … A dichroic experiment … I …
