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’ …
Momma got her Flock together …
Yep! We got all four of our kids together (along with my sister, brother-in-law and niece, my dad and stepmom, my grandpa and my mother-in-law) for a family dinner. I’m a happy girl! The twins turn 20 in just a few days, our oldest will be 25 in a few weeks, followed by our oldest …
Finally producing …
I’m a busy little bee today, finally getting projects moved along while starting a few more! Here are my ‘tie-dye paws’ – which will be 4-5 inch dishes once done. Love them!!! And some of my sandblasted ornament/sun catchers. (The wine has those freeze-n-fuse grapes from a few months ago; as the daughter of a …
Not sure if I’m coming or going …
Jeez Louise, my sleep schedule is a mess right now! Seems I’m embracing this menopausal-nuttiness. In between 10 hour slumbers, combined with a few blocks of no energy, I’m waking up after 3-5 hours, somewhere around 4am – wide awake and ready to DO STUFF. I tried to self-correct by pushing through an 18 hour …

Listings, Sun Catchers and a Coffin-load
Slowly, but surely … I’m moving things along. New penDot listings in our etsy shop Very slowly working my way up to a slump load/bowls in the coffin-kiln. Just a few more projects to go … Played with some frit-bits, trying a different sun catcher – dragonfly style … And, we made some ocean-themed night …
Restocking, custom orders and … penDots
Equals PLAYING … So, this is what you can do when all of your kids are ‘self-sufficient’ … Amazing! I love it … I’ve sold out of a few Michigan-specific dichro cabs … and all four of my two-legged kids attended/are attending my alma-mater … So, totally due: And, I’m wrapping up a custom-order … …
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 …
Mother’s Week
New offerings at the shop – in honor of Mother’s Day: Found myself in a ‘fiddly’ mood this week – working with beads, pliers and earrings … A good week: Met up with ‘the girls’ for dinner – always a fun evening. Thanks to Heather for spinach pies and Congratulations to Lara & Craig! I’m …
