It is spring and that means it is time to pump up the inventory.
I need some new entries on Etsy, some new stock in the mall booth,
and a bunch of lower priced pieces for First Fridays which begin in May.
So, my "free time" will be all but gone at least for a while.
How to begin???
First: Take a nice bevel cluster,
add some barn wood surround glass,
stir in some antique seedy blue,
season with blue and green blobs,
and top with some accent bevels = a really nice window panel.
Oh, please remember the beginning glass class on May 31st.
There is still space for you if you would like to learn this art.

I spent a bit of time this last weekend looking for a new project for beginning glass students.
Change is good !
Nothing wrong with the old project it was just time for a change.
A nice oval landscape with the sun setting over some small hills and a stream in the foreground. It has all the necessary things for a beginning class: straight lines, inside curves, outside curves, and some random wavy lines.
All the things a beginning student needs
to learn to cut and foil.
I went ahead and made the project to judge the timing for a class. With a bit of nice glass it cleans up well don't you think? A piece the students will be proud to show..."I made this in class ! " (big smile)
Just so you know, the next beginning class is Saturday, April 25th from 9am to around 5 pm.
The investment is only $125.00 with everything included except lunch. You do not need to purchase glass or tools to take the class!
This is a real savings for you.

The first class in our new location.
The polar vortex really slowed things down at the studio.
It is hard to give a class if no one can get to you.
But, we finally got it together and the first class was a success.
Congratulations to the students who made a great first project.
Another class next month...watch this space.
A few ginkgo leaves in their fall colors.
The branches stretched out across the glass.
Some bright fall accents and some very textured glass as a surround.
It is winter here...still.... but we can remember autumns past.
Remember the up coming beginning class on March 15th. There is only one space left.
A little photo practice and some nice etching on this glass.
Just thought I would share it with you.
It is not easy to get good images of glass, so a bit of practice helps.

I have always love the way light shines through glass.
In this case, a antique bottle in window light from the back-right.
Just for you to enjoy.
A quick photo of the agate panel as it goes out of the door.
The image was taken several months ago but the panel just sold.
An abstract using 3 agate slices and a hanging crystal.
All surrounded with bevels and red accents.
A really nice window hanging.
