And, back to reality …
Paradise was … well ~ PARADISE! A great sun-filled escape! We arrived back to find our homestead still standing, all two and four-legged family healthy. So, unpacked – but still sporting a bit of sunshine color, it’s time to get back into the grind. While I haven’t fired up my kilns yet, I do have …
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 … …
It’s not all tax prep …
While DH and I are pushing to meet the deadline, sifting through papers and tallying columns … we’ve done a few other things too. I made a cute owl/crackle plate. So now I have a poppy version in the works … And we have pups … adorable squishy-faced love. Xena loves her babies … Victor …
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 …
Help … My studio needs cleaning!
But, I don’t want to stop making stuff … This is crazy … I have hundreds of dollars worth of dichroic glass balancing precariously on teetering molds [umm, multiple molds], while I shuffle jars of frit from here-to-there, to make room for etching cream … on the cutting mat, off the cutting mat … move …
Chuggin’ along …
While I feel like I’m barely moving, I am producing. I’ve been taking pictures and working on listings (not my favorite) in between playing in the studio. Here are some photos from today: And, while we wait to hear about this winter’s show schedule (I’ll let you know where we’ll be …), I’m …
Decals, dichroic extract, screen printing …
Oh my! Busy week in the studio, as I work on and wrap up some projects and special requests. Angels, dichroic badge reels, pendants, and a special ornament (… here come the pictures): I still have more dichro cabs to run, and a few other projects I’m working on … such a good week! …
Slow–but not idle …
Moving ideas and projects along slowly in the studio this week. I really liked the looks of some of my pendants using different bails/settings, so I had to investigate (so ‘code’ for internet shopping) … And – now feel well stocked, and ready to make more jewelry. I’m also making more ornaments – because, it …
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 …
