February Challenge

Even though I haven’t posted for the week I have been busy working on the business. The last 3 days and the next 16 or so are going to be tough as I am a great winter Olympics fan. It certainly doesn’t hurt that it is in Canada either, except the other side of the country and late hours for me.

However back to the challenge. Here are some pictures of some items done this week

Large piece within the series started last week. Colours get added and dropped depending what I am working on.

Also carried it through to some night lights

They look good plugged in with the light shinning through. You can see the different sizes of glass used and the texture on these are great.

And last but not least pieces for our town series that also will be made into night lights. These are fresh from the kiln in these photos and still have some fibre powder on them but look good.

These are my accomplishments this week. Also am working on a new computer program for artists. It is being developed by a company in the States and Jim  has very graciously allowed me to participate in the testing. So I have started populating it yesterday. It will be amazing once I get the info in.

Fused Glass – February Project

To keep up with our challenge the kiln is full tonight. The mirror frame is hopefully being fixed, 10 small pieces in Our Town series either night lights or small wind chimes, whatever I decide in the morning as well as several larger pieces of the jellies. trying to get ahead so I can vegetate in front of the TV during the Olympics.

Another trip to the North Shore

Yesterday I went to deliver an order to Wendy at North Shore. I never look at this as a chore, I absolutely love Cape Breton and this time of the year it is particularly beautiful. So any chance I get to putter around I take it.

First we stopped at Shari’s for lunch. When we went into the shop we discovered that she sold the twig love seat she had there. A picture was in a previous entry, today it was replaced with her beautiful work

Then we went to Wendy’s to deliver the order and watch Kerry Ann Gibson demonstrating lampworking

That was fun and decided to take her glass when she has one in the area.

It was then time to return home along the ferry route. The mackerel are running so there are fishermen all along the shore. Some clean their fish there so the seagulls are ready and eager to get  supper.

Won’t be long before the ships are back so have to get ready for my own stuff. Am going to do a number of the small metal wind chimes and put on the large tree I got last week, can’t wait to see it full. Along with the houses will probably do some fleur-de-lis as well as some stars of David and flowers. So fusing and slumping is the name of the game for the next couple of weeks.
