Good News/Bad News …
and catching up to date. So, the good news – I was off work this weekend. The bad news – it was supposed to be our oldest daughter’s wedding weekend. The good news – she has already chosen a new date for 2021. The good news, I’m feeling better. I saw my doctor and we …
It’s been a while …
I keep going back and forth with this creative rut. I need to do a MAJOR deep clean in the studio, and I’m not looking forward to it. But it has to happen, so … Next week! In the meantime, DH and I have played with some hot weather desserts. We tried some homemade (no …
Finally some pulling …
I cut some glass for a few vitrigraph pulls. Tonight we did an aqua pull. Here’s the stack, and the murrini results. I also plan to do a repeat coe90 beige pull. And I’m trying to recreate the coe96 Carnival pull, but in coe90 colors … We’ll see how well I did mixing the …
Busy, but with down-time
We had a great week! Lots of afternoon pool time, lots of puppy play time, some computer work and a bit of studio card time! But first … Chloe’s posse turned 7 wks old. They are so fun to play with and too stinking cute! If you want to see more of our bulldogs, …
It’s Time to Make the Donuts …

Murrini, Funshine & Pups
I used some of our 96 murrini to make a couple of pendants. They’re cute (!) and they proved to me they are fire-safe/stable. So – check for cane listings in our shop and on our FB page! And, it’s that time of year! Yep – Sangria Weather. So – I made up a vat, …
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 …
Summer Lovin’ …
DH surprised me tonight by suggesting a vit pull. Aww … Thanks, babe! So – we did. It’s Bullseye aqua, teal, steel blue, emerald green, powder blue, warm white and clear. I’m happy with the results! And then, I stole a few hours for enamel projects … I love the cat & dog spoon rests. …
