My Crafty Adventures Creating Glass Art

Black and White is Alright!

Black and White Fused Glass Pendant

I’ve been busy creating product for my Etsy Shop and a 2 day Craft Fair. I have also been participating in Craft Trades. This pendant is a new addition to my Etsy Shop. It is funky and I have no explaination for the design. It was random and it gives everyone the opportunity to come up with their own interpretation of what it represents. What do you think it looks like?

A Change of Season

brownie1.jpg

Starting a new school year always gets me thinking of the change in seasons. The kids start school here August 7th. Thats early compared to other parts of the country. I remember as a child our first day of school was always after Labor Day. I would like summer to be extended and school not start until after Labor Day here in Florida.

School and the Fall Season always went hand in hand when I was growing up in Illinois. The chill in the evening air, Football Games and Homecoming Dances, falling leaves, Halloween and Thanksgiving. I have created the pendant above with Autumn in mind. I don’t see Autumn like I used to. I live in Florida now and to me it’s summer all the way up to Thanksgiving.

It’s never too early to be thinking of Fall. This pendant is currently For Sale in my Etsy Shop and would be great with any Fall Fashion. Link to Pendant: http://www.etsy.com/view_item.php?listing_id=307303

Wishing you all a Great New School Year!

Momma Never Said It Was Gonna Be Easy!

100_3366.JPG

It’s funny how much we have to do in such a short amount of time. I’m talking about the daylight hours and how we are pulled in every direction sometimes. At least that’s how I feel. I work a 40 hour a week job and I always seem to run short on time. I have two teens at home that I can pile the work on but getting them to do it is another thing.

Between Orthodontic appointments, camps, the malls, the movies, buying food to fill their bottomless stomachs, etc. I find myself yearning to go to the Studio for some quiet, creative time with just Me, Myself and I. I bet you can relate! But to be honest with you…I find that I am the most creative when I have lots of things going on. It drives me to want to get out to the Studio and feed my creativity.

I am featuring this pendant in my Etsy Shop. It was created with all that Mommy and Wifey Stuff going on. It pleases me and I hope you find it appealing as well. Please stop by the Shop and take a peek:

AHHHHH – Vacation!

What a Wonderful time of year for a Vacation. The 4th of July week is typically the time I take one week of my vacation. I enjoy being at home, swimming, crafting and just generally enjoying myself with all there is to do at this time of year.

Daytona was abuzz with Nascar racing over this past weekend and we always get to go to the Winn-Dixie 250 on Friday and the Pepsi 400 on Saturday. My driver Dale Jr. won last Friday night which made me a happy camper and Kudos to Tony Stewart for a good race Saturday night.

The fireworks displays abound in all the areas surrounding us not to mention my kids have an arsenal of their own. This is a great time of year for a vacation. When are you taking your vacation and what will you be doing?

The picture above are some Fused Glass Cabochon Blanks that I came across while straightening up the Studio today. Another thing I do while on vacation; Clean. They are listed in my Etsy Shop and would be great for your own projects. Here’s the link to see them up close and personal:http://www.etsy.com/view_item.php?listing_id=291155

They are $5.50 and only $1.50 shipping to USA and Canada. Low $2.50 shipping Overseas.

Have a Great 4th!
