So far – so good …

Cuz INSOMNIA is my friend!!! It’s all good!  I’ve started my peacock bracelet … it was touch and go there for a bit, as I struggled to interpret/decipher ‘beading language’ and FOCUS really old eyes on tiny ‘lil beads, but I like what I’ve got going:      I’ve glued my peacock mosaic – just waitin’ …

Possessed …

But, you know, in a good way!  Came upon a few inspiring images and caught ‘a fever’.  I’m working on a peacock platter, fused mosaic style.  Here’s the rough lay-out.  Now to decide on the mosaic border – clear irid, pale yellow irid or white iridescent glass … I’m leaning towards the white irid. And …

Producing in the Studio … AKA The Picture Post

I’ve been busy with some studio projects … My mosaic butterfly is done.  Now to decide what to do with it – frame it, make a mobile, hang it as a sun-catcher, or leave as is …? (Not the best photos, but the second one does show off some of the iridescent clear glass around …

Dabbling and fun!

Had just the tiniest bit of time to play in the studio this afternoon … No time to get involved with a big project.  So – I decided to play with some metal stamping …    Hmm – easy enough.  So then I thought, why not make a plant marker … Used what I thought …

WWU … WHINE

I don’t do whining.  Can’t stand it.  When a voice hits a certain octave, my lip snarls – all on it’s own.  This is not a good ER nurse trait … I worked with a great crew this weekend, and it was pointed out several times how much more tolerant they are … Hmmm.  I’ll …

Trumped! I win …

Caught in my cross-hairs and so TOTALLY mine!!! I’ve got DH (umm – by the short hairs) … He’s completely PIQUED by my planted-seed of building an ‘L’ (addition) on the studio. This means more ‘downstairs’ room for him … AND – more to the point – MORE studio room for ME!!! When will it …

Flop, but it’s ok …

It’s all valuable learning … I continue to putter and play with recycled bottle pieces … The vase experiment was a total flop.  Oops – totally wrong temperatures.  I’m giving up trying that again (for now) as I think it’s a lost cause due to the nature of glass in a kiln (wanting to be 1/4 …

Experiment Central …

I apologize for the poorly connected, flight-of-ideas-style of my last post.  Apparently writing (and proofing) while medicated isn’t the best idea … My kilns have been busy (thus, me too) with experiments.  Some with promise, others – not so much.  But let’s show them off anyway … One of my books (by Boyce Lundstrom) shows …

Adele + Chinese Food = Good Medicine

Have spent the past week slowly trying to work through a huge family mess (BTW – have I cursed the Evil Biologic recently?  Yes? … Okay, well, here’s another  – %@#^*!!!) … Thus, not much going on in the studio.  Had it not been for a glass order, I may have avoided it all week.  (And …

BEHAVE … WTH???

So, the night ended on an upbeat note … Even though I was tag-team REPRIMANDED by my spouse AND my accountant!  I’m SUPPOSED to watch my spending next year … Um, Yeah – OKAY … Says these two DAY WALKERS.  When I casually pointed out, “It [my interest in new hobbies – thus spending money] …
