Mini Class - Starfish

At the request of a student I will be teaching a mini class on starfish.
It's almost cruel to blog about it because right now the class is full.
But not to worry I will be teaching an under the sea class at WUB this fall and then here at Dream Fire too.
Next Tuesday June 26th in the morning ( to beat the heat)  we will be making starfish in many colors.I sold all my starfish so this is a pitiful  picture of one I donated to an ISGB all members show project.

We will be making much bigger and more beautiful starfish next Tuesday.
You never know when a mini workshop will pop up. I plan to have several mini workshops in August. So watch the website and the blog!
Stay cool and work your glass hot!

Done with time to spare!

Usually I don't post  what I have entered until the jury has made its decision.
But this time I worked for so many hours to get this done, photographed and sent into the jury - all while juggling customers and students and bills and orders.
I'm rewarding myself with.......Here it is the finished piece!
Hope you like her - hope they like her. I do

Took a Break

Yes I took a little break before the studio opens. I went to the International Society of Glass Beadmakers  ISGB annual get together called the Gathering.
This year it was in Louisville KY. There was so much to do and see.
I visited the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft to see the Gaudi piece and all of the Convergence III necklaces.

Beautiful is all I can say.

I also went to Gallery Jonjobe and saw the Pendent show. I was blown away to see my necklaces prominently displayed right in the front as you walked in the door what an honor

I'll be home soon and the store will open but right now I'm visiting my friend Susie

and eating Cupcakes.



Winner of Cupcake wars!



















What can I say life is hard.

See you all soon! Hope you need lots of glass. Drop by on Wednesday and check out the new place.
