Family – We Had Them out …
It wasn’t quite the way we planned, but we had all of our kids over for dinner. It was supposed to be something along the line of mano a mano … So that we could spend time with each of our offspring in a meaningful way, with good food in a relaxed atmosphere, making each …
It’s time …
For our next coe96 glass murrini cane offerings …. We did a gorgeous ‘scallion’ pull: And. here is our first coe96 medley package, available in our Etsy shop: It’s getting to be that time of year. The studio is becoming ‘Ornament Central’ as I prep for Christmas and our next show: Alas – it’s …
Street Legal
Got through the online nursing competency bit AND the day-walking blitz competency … So, yeah! I’m street-legal with my employer for another year. Yay!!! Back in the studio … I’m taking inventory in slow preparation for Arts & Greens 2017, deciding which projects, ornaments and techniques to try. And cutting up vitrigraph stacks, as we …
We did some pulls …
Our first vitrigraph pull of the night … coe96 turquoise: We got some gorgeous cane/murrini. But – we had a crazy amount left-over in the vit pot … I mean like 1.5-2 inches. Since I knew I wanted to do another pull, we crash cooled the pot in cold water. It made a BEAUTIFUL ‘hunk’ …
Amazing!
I got a wee bit side-tracked today. My new phone arrived – and I had some learning to do. Samsung Galaxy S8+ … Oh My Goodness … I love it! I’ve been taking pictures, pictures – and more pictures! What an awesome phone camera!!! Little to no photo-editing to correct colors or lighting needed … …
Clean Studio = Tired, But HAPPY!
Spent a couple of days this week cleaning up/organizing my haven, uhh STUDIO! Good golly, it’s been a while. But she’s all back together – I can find stuff, AND I have open spaces to work! What a cool idea!!! DH and I had our pink cane pull. While it didn’t do what I thought …
Fingers Crossed …
My back is on fire, but I have three kilns running, jewelry tiles cooking and a new product line just about ready to go … Fingers crossed that my kilns behave! My studio is a disaster, but – ya know … I was CREATING! It’s all good. Here’s what I’ve got: Our next couple of …
More Reverse Enamel Trials …
The good news – I have my bubble squeeze program down pat! Here are my latest spoon rests fired with white luminescent backing. The bad news – I’m still having issues with color burn out, even while adding more venting … So, I’m trying a different enamel. Nothing like diving in, so here are more …
Good, Fat & Happy!
A good appointment with our tax man means CHS gets to keep making cool stuff! [Well, yeah, sure – AFTER a weekend of ER nursing fun!] Our pups are growing by the minute! Momma Xena is eating like a champ and her fat ‘lil piglets will be opening their eyes soon! So, I’m happy! Had …
Worker Bee … that’s me!
This week, anyway … We did our first murrini slab. Hmmm … next time I’ll make a round one for a kiln drop (imagine custom pendant-style light shades – for my studio!). And, I’m still making component parts for future tiles/jewelry: I have a few ‘themed’ tiles in the works … rusty brown, ocean marina …
