Long Time

It has been a long time since I wrote in this blog. I have been busy doing house work amongst other things. The picture of the flying mallards is one of my most favorite pieces that I made. I just had to show it off. Anyway, I have to get back in my studio and get working on some more glass projects. My daughter has been asking me to make some more pieces that I can put on etsy. I did go into a craft show in NY this summer and sold a few pieces. That helps so that I can buy some more glass and other items I need for my hobby. Well, lets see what I can come up with to make. I will try not to stay away for so long.

Luck of the Irish

St.Patrick's Day is coming up fast. Hope everyone doesn't go crazy with the green beer. Believe me I know how that goes. Please be careful.The luck of the Irish can only goes so far. So enjoy your day,and have a safe St.Patrick's Day. This Shamrock is a design I created and made just for this occasion. Feel free to browse in my store.

Few days late

Well as I stated before, I needed something different to make. I came up with this idea a while ago. A four dimensional heart with a solid heart center. I designed and made this just to see how it would look. I guess I should have put this up before Valentine's day. I'm always a day or so late anyway. But here it is. Hope you all like it. If you see anything I have made in my store or if you have any ideas of your own that you would want me to make for you or a friend please contact me. I will do my best to accommodate you.

Better Late Than Never

Well I finally picked up a new camera. Here is a picture of the latest memory box I finished back in January. This is it for the boxes for awhile. I have to move on to different designs. Don't know what yet, but something else for sure. Maybe I will put my candy canes in my store along with this memory box. I know a little late for Christmas items or is it early. But better late than never.I have not been doing much as far as glass work goes. I have been working around the house with some much needed upgrades. Maybe someone can give me some ideas on what to make next.

At a Loss

Well I have my box completed as I said. I can't take any pictures of the just completed box my camera is broken and is out for repairs. The picture shown here is another box I made a little while ago for my daughters friend. At least I got my money back for materials on this one. I hope I hear from the camera repair people soon. Now I have to try and figure out what my next project will be. I will have to go through my patterns or come up with a idea to draw. I will let you know what I decided.

Enjoy your Hobby

This is a hobby to me that I enjoy doing, not a job. But instead of giving away my work to friends and family, I am selling some of them to help support my hobby so I can continue on without breaking the bank. Not that I still won't give some away. I just don't want to loose interest in my hobby turning it into a job. I'm sure you all know how that goes.

My workstation..

I thought everyone would like to see my studio where I do my glass work and designs. Most days my light table (the white one) has several projects in the works. Currently, you can see my unfinished candy canes I am currently working on. In the background, if you look closely, you can see my glass grinder and my saw. My soldering table (the brown one) has my newest memory box/urn in the finishing stages. I will post more pictures of that later on in the week. Hope you enjoy the pictures, and keep checking back for more postings. I will be posting a survey in the near future on what everyone would like to see me create next.....
