Well its been a very busy summer. I started out buying a new piece of equipment a kiln. Having tons of fun playing with it. Went to two glass factories Wissmach and Youghiogheny which was tons of fun. I now have plenty of glass to keep me busy for a while.

Golf benefit

This a fan lamp created for a silent auction for a golf benefit in our area. Hope it helps raise money for a special cause.

It was adapted from a pattern designed by Darryl Trezise.

Been busy

Wow!! Been away for a while and many things have changed. Since january the ballerina has been finished and is in its new home. Also made a second panel for her and have entered the world of lead.I really enjoyed the lead process as it is quite a change from the foil. I have played with wire and also crossed over to the warm side. Yes I purchased a kiln and cant wait to get it home.
Below are the things I have been doing and will try to keep up.

Ballerina Panel

Well the holidays are behind us and its time to get back to glassing. This is a panel I am making for my Granddaughter Isabel. She loves ballerinas and a good friend designed this for me. Thanks so much Denise. This has been a challenge so far as I have changed the lass on almost everything. It also has been changed since the picture. After seeing it I didnt like the hai so that also has been changed. Well hopfully it will get foiled before any more changes. Will keep you posted.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year everbody. I hope that 2009 will be a happy and prosporous year.
