A Little of This …
So, today’s update is more about photo sharing – with a little of this and that thrown in … I’m creating in the glass studio again. I had a request for some rose night lights and spoon rests. And, I’m playing with an idea for these gnome ornaments and glass paints … we’ll see if …
Cleaning and photographing …
Doing some much needed deep cleaning here in the studio. Which is tedious, but also inspiring – as I rediscover half-finished projects, failed attempts and new ideas … I’m also creating listings … taking lots of photos, editing for uploading, trying for inspiring descriptions … Completely tedious, but necessary! Here are a few I’ve been …
Pulls, Puddles and Pool Time!
DH and I continue to play with the vitrigraph kiln, making murrini cane and stuff. We had a repeat pull tonight, and I learned the value of the bubble-squeeze (along with a more controlled ramp up)! We’ve had some 20+ pulls, and we are learning with each one! But – that’s a lot of vit …
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!!!

The beat goes on …
After sleeping for some 13 hours, I woke to our first summer day! (I am absolutely NOT complaining about the temperature!!!) So – we spent some time getting the garden in order (rototilling, weeding, general clean-up). I do believe I will sleep well tonight, but I had a blast playing in the dirt! With our …
But Maaa – I don’t wanna ….
I’m on such a productive roll in the studio – I don’t wanna go back to work, darn it! [Arms crossed with pouty face!] I have pictures: Finally got some badge reel photos taking in prep for listing in the shops: I have the coffin loaded (and RUNNING!) for new bowls (slumping): I …
