Our Town - New Pieces

2 pieces came out of the kiln this morning and I am extremely pleased. I changed the glass a bit and used opals instead of transparent. This allowed me to do the background powders before placing the houses, Can’t do that when you see through them, Doesn’t mean I won’t do both just wanted to try.

Feel free to chime in and tell me your preferences.

 

Skyline – Our Town

 

The skyline with a street in front. Across from the building a park with flower beds, paths and benches to relax and watch the world go by.

 

Our Town – Across the Water

 

And then there is the places across the water. Nobody has to worry about keeping  kids in site. You learn to swim before you can walk. Every house has a garden, and apple trees. If you live on the water you have a dock with a rope attached to a raft for diving.

Life is good in Our Town

Dichroic Rack

Well today I managed to finish one rack of dichroic pendants in preparation of Aug. 24, the first of our fall cruise ships. Nice to be able to put the cover on and put away until the 23rd  set up.

Next will be the marbles.

New Posters

Have been staying close to home for the past little while so thought that I would be productive and do up a couple of posters for the fall cruise ship season. They will go behind our table. Unfortunately they won’t let us attach anything to the walls so can’t hang them. We have one easel so we will trade off.

Half Baked

When I first fractured the marbles, one of my friend’s Shari suggested I call them Half Baked by Marg MacNeil. She suggested they were something like myself “half baked”. I actually liked the name and decided to use it.

So here are the “Half Baked by Caper Glass Creations”. They come in more colours and can be changed out for different coloured marbles.

Hope you enjoy them

Window Donation

Haven’t posted in awhile but have been doing some pieces. Jewellery, wind chimes and cruise ships have been taking up my time. However did do a window for a fund raiser being held tonight at the Gaelic College. There is a dinner and auction and windows from different artists around the Island.

Hope they have a successful night.

 

 

I call this “At the Lake” from Our Town Series.

 

Have ordered new frames that will be in this week so will need to get more pieces up to The Dancing Beaver Gallery in Halifax. It’s on the corner of Water and Prince Streets.
